SUMMARY:
After 600 games for Critter 1.6 and 600 games (in fact 599 games) for Critter 1.6a under the same testing conditions against Houdini 2.0c Pro and Deep Rybka 4.1 SSE42, the final result for comparison purposes is:
Critter 1.6 297.5 – 302.5 49.58%
Critter 1.6a 297.0 – 302.0 49.50%
Being aware that 1.200 games is a small sample, according to this test at three different time controls, the difference between Critter 1.6 and Critter 1.6a is near to zero.
