For some reason I am just now seeing these fascinating results!

How were the ballots chosen?

And can you draw any conclusions from this match?

Interesting questions might be (more like speculations), depending on how the ballots were chosen, would using only the "hardest" ballots perhaps have changed the results? Or would play at a longer time limit? Or without opening books?

One thing I think we can say is that in pure tournament style play these engines are probably both unbeatable by human players.

Played in 3-move ballots. I think that if I would play without the opening book, the result could be similar. Much more difficult to program are 11-move ballots.
