hi mogen,
Sorry i guess i did miss the word "after", sorry about that jounis :(.
Anyways the 30-12 was just and example, In my case i think a set of thousand
games is enough "for me" to guess the differances between two programs in
playing strength. Though there maybe alot of people disagreeing "rightfully'
with me, but i think a set of game as less as thousand gives a faint
impression.....even to the little extent ;)
thanks for the correction.
