Predictions for the length of games (#M) is not the main goal for looking
at CVs analytically. Yet results from Courier completed games
interesting:
               -predicted ave.#M-        -Game Courier-
Jacks&Witches       37                   11-03-04 23 = 24 Moves,     
                                               (anticipating checkmate)
                                         07-10-03 14 = 16 Moves
                                         28-10-03 26 = 36 Moves,
                                         checkmate maybe 10 moves ahead
Rococo              60             15-12-03  44 Moves
                                   16-01-04  55 = 60 Moves,
                                         (checkmate five moves ahead)    
                                   23-12-03  53 = about 58 Moves played out
  The trend is apparent that, with Z Board size more or less constant,
Exchange Gradient especially has high predictive value for length (#M).
