SMIRF Engine: To investigate, which 10x8 program is playing best, thus playing CRC would be the ideal method.

Not correct.

To investigate which program is playing better Capablanca Random Chess, we will need to match the programs at CRC!

To investigate which program is playing better Gothic Chess, we will need to match the programs at Gothic Chess!

as long as the reasons for the terminating of those games exist, it would make no sense to start new such games.

Correct. I don't have much time now again. So i can't play quick for now. Thankfully i have today the whole day free. I'm injured as i have wrenched my ankle lightly, so i have to stay today inside home. That's why i will play with Smirf some Chess games as i've already said....

HalfPawn: There is only one way to tell which program is the best. Play a match. You can say all the things you want, the results speak louder than words.

Correct at the last statement, unclear of what you mean in the first.

To be able to determine which program is better(at a certain time control) you need at least 80-100 games _to have an indication_ and more than 200 to start being confident about that....

Pythagoras: "Halfpawn: ... There is only one way to tell which program is the best. ..."

Because he wanted to find out, which program would be best, I suggested CRC. Of course alternatively every variant, one program of both is able to play, could be examined one after the other.

So get well, Pythagoras, I hope for you to be ok soon!
