The optimal number should not be a fixed number and it should be based on
previous results.

For example if the results of both engines are the same after 12 games it is
logical to continue to try them.

The problem with the idea of choosing the engine based on the opponent is the
fact that I cannot use the information to predict results against an unknown
opponent and there are cases when you have to play against unknown opponents in
tournaments.
