Aah but that's the unpredictability of 20 & 40 game matches between roughly
equal machines,  anything from 15-25 to 25-15 in a 40game match is not TOO
surprising.

I site from long-term memory: (my short-term memory is, what was I saying?)

35 Genius 3.0 Pentium 90 MHz,
......     Geniu3 486/66      9-11   ......

as a single example of unexpected results.

Fritz532/450 has started 8-5 against Tigger, in the SSDF match, and it now has a
far greater probability of beating Tigger than when it was 0-0.

At SSDF you only get one chance, you play your 40 (ish) game match against
program X & then you never meet it again.

For me, I find each and every final match result a pleasant numbery
entertainment.

Meanwhile I wouldn't change anything about the SSDF's methods except to wish
them prosperity & growth.

Just my own opinions of course.
