If you do a "history shredder" you can see the last 20 games. But not the previous several hundred. In reasonable length games (non-bullet, but with increments) you can get a pretty good feel for how two programs play by watching them. At least I can pretty well figure out 'quality'. IE if a program plays good moves but loses tactically, that is one thing. If it plays bad moves and wins tactically, that is something else. I have learned over the years to differentiate between the two. And a program that plays 'good' moves is generally better. And when you watch Ferret, you simply don't see any 'ugly' moves, nor do you see many weak moves...
