I suspect to get a more accurate idea of the relevant strengths of one program
against another using sudden death levels will only show one view.  IMHO one
needs to test the two programs at a number of different and varying time levels.
 Also 100 games doesn't seem enough now to establish a pattern of results
between two programs.

So we could be talking in excess of 100 games per time control with several time
controls, then we have the opening book issue, and avoiding duplicated games.

There are so many variables to take into account I wonder how anyone comes to a
firm conclusion on which is the strongest after such a short period from release
of a new program.
