2656 - 141 = 2515

2410 + 148 = 2558

IOW, you cannot discern between the top and the bottom here.

2574 - 100 = 2474

2411 + 142 = 2553

If you look at the error bars, I will think that you cannot draw any
conclusions.

It will take 210 games (not 21) to find out which setup really is stonger, and
even at that you will not be able to discern between the closest entries.

IMO-YMMV.
