You have some very strange and unbalanced results.  Probably the result of a
small number of games.

Look at (for instance) your results for "The King".

Also, the terrible showing at the bottom of your lists and the very good showing
at the top is too skewed.  The ELO difference between the top and the bottom
program is surely less than 200 Elo.

I suspect a setup problem of some kind.  Either that, or a lot more games need
to be run, and these results were simply an aberration.
