In Response To: Selection bias (Chuck Bower)

This was never intended to "prove" once and for all that extreme is better than Snowie, however, Mike picked the 10 problems with no foreknowledge about how Extremegammon might read these positions, and clearly when 9 out of 10 get the right play where Snowie 3 ply does not, that's saying something pretty significant.

Again, I have provided the page numbers so anyone can do this themselves, and of course, you will have to take my word and Mike's word for it that these were the only ones he happened to select and that they were all the problems he selected, so the test did not have any kind of bias.
