4-1???
Is that a scientific experiment?
Has the 70% score against Hiarcs7 been done in a 5 games match too?
Remember that in order to compare chess programs that are close in strength you
need A LOT of games. I would give no credit to a match with less than 30 games.
If they are very close, you will not be able to decide even after 100 games.
>Is this book tuning or what?
I would call this lack of games.
