That's quite a turnaround for a bit of "fiddling."  I saw a couple of
those games last night, and it didn't look to be any contest (assuming
Klamath is mcp7).

I guess those results represent too small a sample to be significant.
How many games do you think are required to get a good sample?  I'm
interested because, in developing my own program, I want to know how
much testing is usually done to test program changes.  Seems like 10
games is not enough.
