You can't test the result 11-9 out statistically by only playing another 20
games. If you play another 80 games besides the ones you've already got, then
the average might converge on 15-5. But since noone tried, we don't know.

No.

If I can reproduce the results, it means nothing. If I cannot, it means nothing.
This is due to the fact that I cannot emulate the hardware/software
configuration of Chessfun. This should be obvious in my opinion.
