It's impossible to play error free chess and lose.  It's the nature of the game
that, in a loss, the loser MUST have made at least one that, under intense
scrutiny, deserves a question mark.  In other words, I'm saying that the opening
position is not a forced win for White!

That's why I don't consider a game to have been annotated properly if the
annotator does not identify at least one move for the losing side in a game that
ended decisively with a question mark.  To me, that means the annotator doesn't
know where the loser went wrong.
