IE it would be prudent to _always_ have a plan, as anything can happen when the internet passes thru so many points between A and B... I think the draw in game 1 was overkill, as I think you could have won. His wanting to call the entire match a win is _really_ over the edge and ought to be turned down. Unless there was something agreed to prior to the match. He has already had enough "charity" IMHO. He should have zero right now after 1 game, not .5. It seems ridiculous to give him 2.0
