Subject: It's not FAIR!!!

Whenever I send out a new version of my program, I usually do a lot of testing
vs. other programs to see how good it is. Usually I get some really cool result,
and can't wait for everybody to see how good my new version is.

But then the test results start coming back: "Your program is very good; it only
lost 300-1 to GNUchess", or "It had a mishap in it's match against Faile, but
other than that it's quite good".

It's not fair!!! How come most people send back results far worse than the ones
I get on my computer!? I am so careful to check that the hash sizes are the
same, the CPU use is the same.....

Does anybody else have this experience?
