Maybe they explain it somewhere.  For instance, past performance would make that
a sensible setting.

That's a good point.  Perhaps they used Chrilly's other programs as a basline
(which is surely invalid, but not completely absurd, since it is very likely to
be a strong program).  More logical would be to look at some qualifier games or
some other performance data.  Perhaps this was given somehow.  Certainly, the
seeding for Brutus is an interesting question.


Maybe they just took a wild guess.  If they did, it looks like the guess was
probably pretty good.
