As announced, we have repeated all games played by The King 3.23 skr with
the general.ctg instead of the remis.ctg. And the cross table looks completely
different after 140 games (35 games/engine) but a clear favour for general.ctg.
Does this mean that the influcence of the books plays a much greater role than
we have imagined?
Vergleich der Bücher: wie angekündigt haben wir für das laufenden Turnier
alle Partien des The King 3.23 skr mit dem general.ctg statt dem remis.ctg
nachgespielt. Und nach 140 Partie oder je 35 Partien pro Engine sieht der
Vergleich wie folgt und klar zugunsten des general.ctg aus. Zufall?
