well lets see..
thats at least 20 hours of testing
that would take me probably a month if i did nothing else in my spare time
and by that time the Resurrection will be revised several times to make this

i will go with the 5 game match and perhaps some longer games later

i never put a computer away and never play it again..ever..even the early weaker
units
i manage to play all of my computers through out the year
the chief difference is I play the computers and generally am not interested in
computer VS computer matches

in almost all cases the stronger unit wins and so i personally see no point to

i will leave scientific elo calculations to those with the inclination and time
to do accurate Elo assestments

my interest in the hobby is to collect and play them for myself
