Chris,

In other words, you are saying that these two programs are about equal in
strength.  I accept that.  The folks that keep saying that "we can not know the
real strength of a program until we have played at least N-hundred games" are
being picayune.  I know that a 500 Mile/hour rocket sled is faster than a
Volkswagen just after one run.  I think that you can get a good picture of a
programs strength after twenty to fifty games.

Both Shredder 5.0 and ChessTiger 13 are exceptional programs.
