I am not sure what you try to show here, but if we can't show that
gnubg is individually better than bgb or sn, the likelihood it is
better than both is still harder to show

Well, I wrote a lot of nonsense today (my statistic lessons are 20 years
ago), but what about this conclusion:

gnubg 1623 over all wins
bgblitz 1519 overall wins

j.s.d = sqrt(27.3+27.3 + 27.38*27.38) ~ 54.6

(1623 - 1519)/54.6 ~ 1.90

1.90 --> 97.1% confidence that in the overall competition (1 bot against
three bots) gnubg is better than bgblitz. That's one way we compare the
reliability of move rankings, so it should be right here also, shoudn't
it?

Ciao
