If you take out my visits, it's quite a bit less than 1 million !

Congratulations! Your site has become my go-to place to find out the strength of the various chess engines at the moment. I like that it is so up-to-date but also systematic. Same number of games in each pair, same openings etc., not just randomly throwing many games at Ordo hoping for the best. I also use your opening books in private chess tournaments I do on my laptop for fun.

I also like how you use unbalanced openings and have a separate list with game pairs. With how strong current engines are, this seems like the only way for the differences in strength to be shown. Otherwise we'd have 98 draws out of every 100 games. (I wonder if even this system will collapse in the future. If that line between "always draw" and "always win" will get thinner and thinner until it eventually disappears. Will that be the limit of chess engines strength?)

That is an interesting question. This could be a possible scenario somewhere in the future, IMHO.
But, the good news is, if that ever happens, my EAS-Tool offers a new goal for further engine-development: gaining aggressiveness instead of gaining more and more strength.
