That's indeed something you should do, Sarah.
No need to walk thru the games, just looking at the results lists will do.
If the programs always win, or lose, in the same positions, I guess we can
suspect that the understanding of the position has played a crucial role. Which
would mean that the evaluation functions are the key point in the outcome of the
match.
