In a knockout tournament that I ran with 32 engines playing 30 game knockout
matches against each other, in ALL 31 matches, the engine that was winning after
20 games was the eventual winner.

I think that the 40 game matches that SSDF play are more than sufficient,
especially when you consider the time taken to run the matches at 40 moves in 2
hours repeating.

I mean, in PRACTICAL terms, where does one draw the line?
