Thank you Kindly Paco, for the nice words about the campaigns. Some humongous scores you've racked up there. That is good news.
Now the bad...they are right. Here are the ratios of victory...
human vs computer
6 to 1 and up, decisive victory
3 to 1 and up Marginal victory
between 1-2 to 2-1 Draw
1 to 3 marginal defeat
1 to 6 or greater - Decisive defeat
What does that mean. Let's take that first score...16,000 to 6,000
If you removed all the zeroes the score would be 16 to 6, right?
Okay you need 3 to 1 for a marginal victory.
The number 6 will not go into 16 but 2 2/3, less than 3 to 1. You would need at least 18 to 6 to get a marginal (or 18,000 to 6,000)
OR dividing 6,000 into 16,000 gives you the same, 2 2/3 to 1...almost a marginal but not quite.
The same with #2. 10,000 goes into 22,000 = 2 1/5 which is 4/5 from a marginal victory.
To get a marginal victory against 10,000 points you would need a score of 30,000.
Now the 3rd one is so close, you missed by one point (I think you must have rounded these off, rarely do you get fully even numbered scores like that)
It must have been something like 15,210 to 5,450.
The point here is that in this last battle you were so close to a marginal victory that I would have given it to you but alas, the computer cannot make that judgment call.
Sorry, Paco. ...WB
