No, I didn't mean that. I was talking about the differences of two progs. And
then I think that after 900 games we could say more than after 90 or 9. It was
really trivil what I wrote. Nothing that should get you into problems of
understanding. With the 36 chess progs and a tournament this becomes more and
more complex and that is another case.

Thanks for your clarification, Jim.
