Well, if you only take the first 9 games of this match, it becomes this:

                 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1   Hiarcs 7.32  ½ 0 ½ 1 ½ 1 0 1 ½   5/9
2   CSTal II     ½ 1 ½ 0 ½ 0 1 0 ½   4/9

Not that bad, is it?

As I said, I don't understand what happened during the second half of the match.
But these series are not uncommon in long matches. Nevertheless, I *think* that
Hiarcs is stronger than CSTal II, but this is only a feeling. Not proven yet.

Greetings,

Heiko.
