Very useful, but only with many more games. With humans it would require
even more games under strict tournament conditions, than with comp vs comp.
Humans fluctuate much more, and it takes much more to come to a truthfully
stable conclusion. e.g. the famous and high rated programs are much better
prepared for and possibly more strongly contested than lesser programs.
This too would be minimised with many more games against those, and other
programs(being rated). The top programs might even be more strongly contested
sometimes, than human playing another human, when it is more a battle of
psychology than purely the actual chess.
 Any comments on all this?
