Yes Kurt i am familiar with the fact that one engine can be the odd man out, i
have been testing for a while now...
Read my answer to Dan's post and you will know why i chose to rerun the match.
And by the way 30 games even 200 games would not give an exact result, though
the margain of error would probably shrink to a minimum the more matches you
run. 10 matches at a time is what i have time for.
For the record i am not trying to compare engines, i just simply enjoy a good
game of chess, then you be the judge wheter prog a or b is strongest!
