Testing using the same opening from both sides of the board
while that may be fine, with the endless amount of openings
and opening variations it will make little difference IMHO
than just letting them play from book.

And since my tourney had 11 rounds you in effect have matches
of 11 games.

I think some argument can be made for a selected group of
openings such as Nunn1 or 2 but that is only as these are
known positions.

Overall I think the best program will win most of the time.
Take as example most of my tourneys at my website Fritz 6 wins
almost all. I think that is simply because it is the best
overall.

Thanks.
