I was out for the weekend, but I let the match run on unsupervised. When I
returned I saw it was still going.

I noticed that after 213 games, the program that values Falcon below Rook
has taken the lead, 120-93 (56%). This starts to be significant: the
statistical error in 213 games is only ~3%. So this is a 2-sigma
deviation, meaning that it is highly unlikely (only ~2%) that it is better
to value Falcons above Rooks.
