Hi This is of course an interesting challenge but as usual a lottery, you can't decide anything after 7-8 rounds of playing. The goal is to use the best program not the "luckiest". Compare it with the results in the club, one year I was number three of about 15 players, the year after number eight and the strength of the palyers was about the same (including me).
