And to quote the law of large numbers for such an environment is stupid. Its like releasing a helium baloon and a slightly larger heleumbaloon in a hurricane, and claiming that the largest will on average traves further. While that may be true, it will take 1 mio runs of he experiment to find out if this is true, because, the hyrricane influences the baloons heavily. Even though the hurricane influences the two baloons in the same way, the influence distorts the signal from the different baloon size. The LOL gameengine is the hurricane. In Chess, the pieces do not influence the chess players performance.
