No, it is not crazy at all -- my experiment actually shows this for "X+1 <=> X" slef-play of "Fritz 6" with 95% confidence. So, where is the beef? I was not interested in the question whether the number of draws also increases for "X <=> X". Why should I test it then as you repeatedly insisted? What influence does a higher number of draws for "9 <=> 9" than for "8 <=> 8" have on the question about the difference in playing strength between "8 <=> 7" and "9 <=> 8"? =Ernst=
