Or anyway play at least 30 games each book, so you just have to play with A Runge-v01, O-deville, Trappole_v29 another 10 games. Then your test would start having some value. And by increasing the number of games would be statistically more and more significant. So at the end we would know what book is better. But is really this that we would know? Or we would just know what book is better for Jonny 2.70 against Movei00_8_251s. And who can guarantee that this book would be better for List 5.12 too? And what about time controls. If you change the time controls, then what is happening. Would the selected as the best book, be the best again? Unfortunately we can't answer to these questions unless we would make giant tests for every combination. Yet by accepting the fact that different engines have almost the same behaviour and that they play the same at all time controls we would gain a huge amount of time, and by a simple test as yours we would be able to know some general things. But the 2 aforementioned facts are totally wrong. So no one should say that the "winner-book" of your test is the best since this is a (false) generalization.
