It is not surprising, because Chess Tiger has been given only partial tablebases
during this match.

As pointed out somewhere else, because of this lack of TB some wins have been
turned into draws.

It would have been better to not give any TBs to Tiger at all. I'm sure the
result would have been better.

This result leaves a bitter taste. Thousands of hours of work (mine and the
hours spend by the SSDF testers on this match) spoiled by an inferior setup.
