Huh ? I certainly never wrote anything like that !! I think what you refer to is that I once mentioned in some thread that given games are independent events a result of 6-0 in a match between two engines, is enough to conclude with more than 95% certainty that the winner is "the stronger one", which would be something completely different , no connection to opening book either. >Why are testers doing a lots of tests with opening books for different engines >and engine's opening book, and running a tourney. >Does anyone here have games or results of top engines in a tourney with no >opening books?that's enough.2 games,one with white and one with black.at >different time control,shorter and longer.
