That's Uri's point. I am personally sure enough, but even in case of uncertainty
the game should count, or else no games played on the Kyro thing should count. I
mean, if we count points scored by Rebel on that particular overclocked (faster)
machine, we should also count the games lost because of failure due to
overclocking.
