Subject: In ALL 39 matches, the first to 10.5 was also the first to reach 15.5

So I don't see any point in running 30 game matches in any future Knockout
tournaments I may decide to run when 20 game matches are likely to produce the
same results.

I know that some of you will pull out the old statement about 20 or 30 games
between two engines close in strength not saying anything, but have a good hard
look at some of the match ups that occurred in this tournament.
I'm not saying you're wrong (because you're not!), but it wasn't borne out in
this tournament.
