This is IMO of no interest. A 10 games match is almost worth nothing.
You need a lot more games to get an estimate.
The SSDF is testing with 40 games per match.
A program which is clearly stronger than the opponent should win a 40 games
match almost with probability 100%.
If the weaker program is lucky and gets the right positions out of the opening
it can win a 10 games match against a program which is clearly stronger.
