you comment is bogus.
the strong chess players FEEL the programs as if these programs are
human beeings. thats very normal. your statistic point gives us no further
answer to the discussion other than YOU need many games to find out what a
strong IM/GM sees within an instant or feels by watching how you move.

of course it can result in almost nothing. this is the reason people watch the
game. to find out WHY it happens THIS way.

thats the difference between you and them.
they see it, you must guess it by waiting until 100 of games have been played.
they feel it.

nonsense.
