You are right and I should have known about setting the opponents to no-resign
mode. In fact I did in the end, but I got 2 doubtful games. This one, which
Gambit would have won anyway, and the other position I posted in this thread. So
a maximum of half a point difference in total, which is bad enough but not
decisive, hopefully...
