AFAIK, Elostat reports 95% confidence level. As you can see, the last 1000
games, got a result outsidwe of the before estimated confidence level. This
should happen once in 20 "experiments". So it is not far off, here. When Pavel's
experiment has finished, I will try to do some statistical tests on the results.
Perhaps by well known statistal methods, perhaps also by some "Monte Carlo
simulations". Probably there was never a test with so many games between 2
opponents before. It might be worthwhile to use all those stastical methods.
