The program seems to work OK with 200 or 300 games, but not with more. Beyond 300, exponents become too high for the floating point precision. I may try tomorrow morning to replace the built-in "long double" type by a more accurate type of the GNU multiprecision library, so that p^400 is not equal to zero for probabilities p < 1. That should make the program applicable to bigger matches. What are the numbers of your gauntlet matches ? Rémi
