Hi!

In example the S7-Ruffian-match was played in blocks of 4 to 8 games and due to
some autoplayer error it ended up with one more white game for one of the
programs. I played an extra game to correct that. If there was a match of 56
games, I believe it could have been a misunderstanding so two testers played
against the same opponent. We always count all games instead of take a decision
afterwards which games to count.
