Ha! In an event with 9 rounds it is seldom that a competitor can't point to one
game where they were "lucky." So you see your attempt at self deprecation has
failed!

Besides, one thing I found amusing about the tiebreaks in cct6 is that a
shortcut for determining whether a program will perform better at longer time
controls is to see if it performs worse at shorter time controls. So it would
appear that in the tiebreaks your program gave the other 2 a sound thrashing! ;)
