Both sets of results are surprisingly.  The first one is incredible in its
margin of victory (so far at least), and the second one is surprising in that
the underdog is ahead by a good margin.

In the Hiarcs match, games 1-7 favored Yace by 5.5 - 1.5; games 8-16 favored
Hiarcs by 5.5 - 3.5, and games 17-20 favored Yace by 3.5-0.5.  Yet another
example of getting very different results by looking at different small
sub-matches within a longer match.
