Are you talking about my idea of testing CM against the other top programs? I know that 20 games don't say much, they almost say nothing. If you want to have nearly what you call PROOF then you need to have at least 500 games EACH MATCH. What my intention is to get a more certain impression of CM's strength. CM6k won't be tested by SSDF and has no autoplayer so it is a farce to play manually even 100 games. That justifies, at least for me, this small tournament with reduced time controls which indeed is bigger than some other Xmas tourneys or so. And when we see after the 240 games that CM6k/CM6555 wins every match with 13-7 *I* would go so far and say that CM6k/CM6555 IS STRONGER than the rest. You don't need to but I will/would.
