If you are thinking of the aborted DJ game, then I think he lost concentration
because in his mind the game was over. At that stage most GM players agree on a
draw, he was just waiting for the computer to come to the same conclusion.

It is easy to drop you guards if you think the game is practically over.
I think this is different than stress or pressure, it is quite the opposite
propably, like boredom :)
