Not all the ssdf games are public and it is impossible to check if there are errors in the not public games. I found some errors in public games and it is logical to assume that there are also errors in not public games. Example:in 4 public games Junior was slowed down by a significant factor because another program was running at the same time of the games and the tester had to repeat the games The advantage of events like WMCCC is that all the games are public.
