  This statement is clearly false in the general case. Take a starting position
with black queen taken out, all of the other pieces in the starting position.
White will always win no matter what programs you match, so both program will
seem to be equally strong. Same setup does not imply fair conditions to measure
strenght. Own book for each program do.
