Do you know what "statistically significant" means? If we play 10 games we can't say the above because of the low number of games. We can't say after 10 tournament time control games that Nimzo8 scores approximately x% against F6 in tourn. time controls. The result after 10 games is not statistically significant. After 10 games we might have error margin of 50% or even more - that is not statistically significant. After 300 or better 1000 games we can say that maybe 95% sure (I don't have a calculator available) the result is accurate. Of course learning alters this actual winning % we are trying to find out with our matches. Severi
