At least if you want to express who is the strongest with statistical terms. Lets say you get a very close results, its a lot more difficult to say that one program is stronger than the other with a high certainity. to say that one is stronger with a confidense of 95% I'm not sure how big the difference in score have to be over 200 games. (My HP-49G and statistics books are left back at my workplace...) But someone here with a little knowledge in statistics can probably tell you easily what kind of results you need to be 95% sure, 99% sure etc. Torstein
