I do not think that you are going to give false results but it is possible to give false results by choosing only part of the games and people cannot prove that the moves are wrong because the moves are right. You can use the positions after 10 moves from the next rounds of the fide championship as the starting positions when chessmaster plays both sides and in this case people can be sure that there is no problem in the choice of the opening and checking the moves is enough.
