Yes I was a tester of Gandalf. The scores are correct, and these games were
mostly played _after_ I was no longer a beta tester.

I believe the scores were so lop sided as Gandalf 4.32e uses a different book
than the F version, and I believe it is a better book. That is to say tha the E
version could be equally strong, but the book is better. I also believe that the
E version uses time management better.

To be honest, I felt the C version was strongest, but had trouble with time
management, and lost quite a few games due to having little time, and losing in
the endgame.
