OK...this one would've been stat sig after 3 games though. 108 was a huge amount of overkill. But I guess your point is that other people might roll other positions out for only 108 games?

Basically... I've seen some noobs post rollouts with 8 trials and volatility through the roof. The idea here is that since you're now a world renowned author, you have a responsibility to show proper bot usage. I'm of the opinion that for a published article, you should just go ahead and throw in X trials, where X is some sufficiently large number. When people see you doing that even for positions that are, as you say, statistically significant after 3 games, it will help. The other problem about the unwashed masses is that MANY don't even understand the concept of statistical significance when it comes to a rollout, or why it matters.

I (or many others for that matter) probably would be willing to roll out positions for you if you're trying to get them into an article. I don't even require any payment for services rendered. =)
