They are not thrown out of SSDF matches, which are used to evaluate computers
elo ratings.
The idea is that if an opponent is stupid enough to lose the same game twice, it
should be counted against him.
Tiger has algorithms to avoid replaying a lost game, Genius has not...
I have been bitten by this on the SSDF (when Chess Tiger 12.0 lost 12 times the
same game against Junior 6.0), so I don't see why I would have to give a favor
to Genius... :)
