Because the plan is to play 10 GM's, and see how that PARTICULAR engine does
against a POOL of GM's.  And to get an estimate of it's playing, against these
particular GM's.

Like I said in other posts, I have these engines, and I needed to pick _ONE_ to
play these games.  Right off the top of my head, I couldn't think of another
way.
