Actually I don't think it would make a big difference! The luck rate
should be almost identical, assuming they play at approximately the same
level. Of course, in positions one of the bots grossly misevaluates the
luck rate may also be misevaluated, but in the long run (over 5 13pt
matches) these should average out.
