With a fail-low programs often are taking lots of times and then go over the time-out barrier and as a result the game is terminated. I have seen wrong result storage in ALL autoplayer platforms at times even in my own interface which of course were corrected later. The best thing and I always do it, is to quickly check each game. It is a pain but one should defenitely do it as especially these games marked as "draw" are sometimes just wrong. Ed
