Darn, left out one more key question: How *repeatable* are these tests? In other words, with 20 trials do you get the same answers each time? And yet another: What opening books are being used? Is B.I.'s opening book identical to that used during the contest? Is the version of B.I. used for these tests identical to that used in the contest (or are you simply using moves from that contest)? Do we know when B.I. went out of book? It can probably be deduced from time spent, if we have exact timings for the moves (which I doubt is available). I will again assert also, that similarity of play is a doubtful measure of the number of lines of code that are original. Suppose that we had 100% agreement on each and every move. Would that prove that the code was the same? Suppose that we had only 30% agreement. How would we know whether or not they simply changed the value of a knight by .3 and a pawn by .05 in eval? I think the only way you can really know is to see the code.
