nonsense.
i don't need 200 games.
2 or 4 or even less (depending on the programs)
are enough to say how strong something is.
very exactly.

:-)))

statistic is no excuse. if you watch the games itself, you can see
which program is stronger and will win in the end, in 200 or in 4 games.
you can see this from the games.
believe me.
anybody can do this. i can teach anybody to see it.
its easy. just a question of beeing used to it.

if you drink each day different sorts of milk you can in 3 years
be an expert. and recognize which milk comes from where or is better
without drinking 200 ltrs. milk. one glass is enough.


My opinion.
