That's just what I wanted to say. I just try to see which program is better, I'm
not trying to give them relative elo ratings.
The process of telling which program is better takes a variable amount of games.
Few games if the elo difference is big, more games if it is smaller.
I'm not sure my numbers are accurate, and I would appreciate to see somebody
checking them.
