NY Times: pros vs. bot

I hate the fact that they keep saying "barely". Humans won .5 BB/100, and on the second day, which is more important (because if bots ever played more, we'd get to know them better), the humans won 3.5 BB/100.

It's "barely" only in the sense that it could be variance, and the bot-makers put themselves at a disadvantage by tipping off the humans about some of the characteristics of their bots.
