OK. What about all games? Crafty: 22 wins. 12 losses.
what about the first 20 games? Crafty 8 wins, 4 losses, rest draws.
Your way of measuring "better" is _really_ pretty stupid. Any statistician
can tell you why. I can play 100 games vs fritz and lost 70-30, but I can
probably find 10 games in a row where I had more wins than losses. It
proves _nothing_ of course.
So say whatever you want about check cashing. But just don't write any.
