Go up one level in this thread


  The best engine may not win, that's true.
  But does'nt that apply to human/human tourneys too? There would seem
 little point in holding a tourney at all, just look at the ratings
 relative to each other, and say "Well, that program/human is stronger
 because he/it has the highest rating".
  Tournaments are held basically for the fun of it, and lady luck plays
 a roll in the outcome.
