Indeed. Couldn't believe it myself... :)

Maybe. But since the match has no big consequences for the outcome of the
tournament anyway, I decided to adjudicate a little earlier.

This is my "draw rule". Both programs showed "+0,00" three times in a row (OK,
strictly speaking, one of the 6 "+0,00" was in fact a "+0,01"...).
I was a little lazy annotating these games; usually, when it just says
"1/2-1/2", it means the aforementioned "draw rule" was in effect, whereas I say
"TD decision" if the draw had another reason. So the CM6K-CST match should get
the additional annotation "TD decision".
