I was just thinking. It might be useful to have a table of values that allow you
to determine that one engine is significantly better than another. Is someone
interested in puting this on their chess webpage? I can create the table for
you.

e.g. it would be something like this:

Null hypothese is: the engines do not differ. or , the win percentage is 50%

We need to reject this hypothesis to conclude engines are different. Our
criteria for rejecting could vary in strictness from 5% to .1 % . (e.g., if the
result would only occur .1% of the time assuming 50% true value, we reject the
null and conclude that the engines do differ)

The table could look something like this


number of games            5% cutoff          1% cuttof     .1 % cuttof

20                           number             number        number
