A match has a defined starting point. Right. A match always has a defined starting and ending point. Usually when someone plays a computer on the net, they play several games in a row, with little break between them. If someone won the first one then lost the next nine, I would say that they had lost nine out of ten, not that they'd lost ten in a row. bruce
