For example:

First Tournament:
*Fritz7 new settings* (Fritz7 settings are the engine parameters)
120 games from 40/40:00
Nunn Openings

Second Tournament:
*Fritz7 default settings*
120 games from 40/40:00
Nunn Openings

The only difference is the Fritz7 engine settings, and I want to know whether
Fritz7 with new settings plays stronger or not. That is how I try to compare
between the two tournaments above. Is that clear to you now?
