Yep, so why don't you also play only 10 games. It _must_ be enough for two
professional engines... And you could make 5 times more of these matches! Or
even better: let each engine play only 10 moves (like 10 rounds?) ;-)

I think this conversation has been done N times (N>100), but: if you don't (as
it seems) want to play enough games to get significant results, you really
should try to find other kinds of results. For example you could try to check
out positions where the modified version sees different moves and decide if
these are better. This won't tell you much about playing strenght but the
results would still be more interesting.
