Mark Twain once said.. "There are Lies, Damn Lies and .. Statistics"
It's hard to disprove Statistics, they are what they are.
Four hundred  years of Chess Theory & Millions of games played have proven
that White has a significant advantage with the first move.
Black cannot overcome this, in fact Black cannot even equalize.
Whites Overall Performance is 55% compared to Blacks 45%
The error factor is insignificant.
Whichever Human or Computer plays the Openings by ECO Classification
that are better for White will Win.
Whichever Human or Computer plays the Openings by ECO Classification
that are better for Black will win.
It's really that simple.

So what does Testing Engines against Engines Prove?

Anyone?

Thanks,

Chan
