Maybe I am stupid when I think that I can draw conclusions but here is my
conclusion from results of 288 games of Fritz9

1)Fritz9's rating is at least 2734
2)Fritz8 Bilbao's rating is at most 2724

Conclusion
Fritz9 is better than Fritz8 Bilbao.

Note also that if programmers never implement a change in their program before
playing more than 250 games at 40/40 then their progress is going to be very
slow.

Programmers need to get some conclusion if you want to implement a change or do
not want to implement a change with data that has less games or data that is
based on faster time control if they want to be competitive.
