take a chess program. Your target is to find the difference in rating between the program and a program that plays random moves. Call the original program X_0 You change X0 to play random moves in n% of the cases and call it X_n play a match of 1000 games between X_0 and X_1 play a match of 1000 games between X_1 and X_2 ... play a match of 1000 games between X_99 and X_100 total number of games 100,000 games Calculate rating for X_0,....X_100 based on the result of the games. 1)What will be the difference between X_0 and X_100 in rating? 2)Is the difference between X_0 and X_100 bigger when X_0 is stronger? I suggested 1000 games in order to get more significant result but you can start only with 10 games if you are interested to see fast results and repeat the experiment later. In order to get many games you can decide about fixed small depth such that games will be finished fast. You can take Crafty at fixed depth of 2 and later Crafty with fixed depth of 4 and it may be interesting if Crafty with fixed depth of 4 will have bigger difference between X_0 and X_100.
