Please be real, anybody can  make a typographical error. What are you implying?

If you take a closer look and read carefully you will notice that this match is
still in progress, only ten games out of 20 were played, there are 10 more games
to play. Plus the number of games is not as important as the percentage. If you
have a match of 500 games between these two engines and the score ends in 253 to
247 in in favor of Jonny 2.70 or the other way around, it is NOT proving that
your match statistically is more convincing than my match of 20 games. I take
percentage into consideration not NUMBERS of games.

PS: Plus this experiment is NOT just of 20 games, but a series of 20 games
matches between two identical engines, with the difference that I switched
opening books for Jonny 2.70, since Jonny doesn' have an opening book.

Jorge.
