Which programs can win some games ? No, it's not boring at all. Dont you agree it's interesting to know to what extent a tournament is a lottery? Come on, if it were a 100% lottery it makes no sense to show interest in rankings etc, rankings have to mean something. But then the lottery factor can't be too big. But how big is it then. See?
