Hi Kurt,

I do think this is a good exercise to watch, for people that put too much
significance in a small number of games...I know that all people here who have
tested with massive numbers of games, realize this fact...but some people who
play 10 or 20 games and conclude something, need to pay attention to the
fluctuations that can happen...I want to keeping adding to this collection of
results...and maybe try to repeat some of the 100 games sets...just so that
people can see the variation...it is one thing to say that the standard error
for 100 games is about 5...it is another thing to see that in action ;-))

I am concerned about whether things that go on in the CM GUI are "fair"...are
the results repeatable?? If they aren't this could be a big waste of time...
except something will be learned ;-))

Bill
