It can ride squarely on the back of mathematics. It uses things called "Hypotheses" and if they are testable and verifiable we can call the outcome a conclusion. >Further again this term of "GM strength" Does it >merely mean a statistical result or is it really more substantive to refer to >qaulity of play!
