And if they are the same then comparing >on and off seems reasonable. There might not be a difference, but I think it would be possible to list quite a few items that are different from one to two computers (GUI, OS, priority errors (?) and a few more minor ones). If they cancel each other out or reinforce each other is a different question entirely. But I'm not going to be stubborn about it :o). I've said my piece. >I am more concerned by what I just saw at 5/0 totally opposite >results. I think this can somewhat be explained by the time control >but I am not comfortable with the results. The results aren't strange at all. That is why sample size is important for accurate prediction of strength difference. I don't know the statistical uncertainty when playing only 20 games, but it's bound to be quite huge. >I will play 10/0 twice also to see if a similar thing happens there. Keep us posted :o).
