In Response To: Throw away your Snowie and GNU (Robert Maier)

The number of matches needed for statsig is tricky because to do it smart you should use the variance reduced match results instead of the actual result.

But let's suppose that only the match result will be used. If the programs are not too far apart in ability, say neither is more than a 60-40 favorite, then about 5000 matches would give you a result with standard error of about .5%
