Hi!

I am sorry but it is absolutely impossible to notice 15-20 elo points
differences between two programs without several houndred games, maybee if one
version is x% faster than the previuous (without any other changess)

We see this all the time here when GMs and other "experts" judge a program after
 one or two games.
