Hi Steve,
  Out of curiosity, I played Toga2(1.0) vs Spike 1.0 Mainz the other night. I
left them to play a 50 round match at 5min/game, and off to bed I went. The
result was Toga28.5 - Spike 21.5, about what I expected. Seems like several
hundred games need to be played. Incidentally, on looking at the results, one
engine or the other would go on a winning/losing streak stretching for seven or
so games.
  regards
  Lin
