I am not sure if the error margin even makes any sense.
Let's say with zero error margin, at the end of this test, we see that Aristarch
is 1 elo stronger than Yace. If I were to play 10,000 more games aftre reaching
zero error margin, Yace, with the help of it's positional learning will almost
surely, definately, will exceed Aristarch by a reasonable margin.

Than if I were to switch to a differant time control (let's say 10-min perside),
the results will be in favor of aristarch, because Yace probably won't be able
to take advantage of it's positional learning from the previous games, because
of differant time control.
