Why would this be true? I played a long match vs genius several years ago and beat it nearly every game (using a Cray) and with significant time odds to boot. I expected to win, I did, and I didn't save a single game score because I didn't consider those games particularly remarkable... I'd suspect Hsu did the same. They told me about the match months after it had been done. By the time I reported it the data was gone. What was worth saving? IE I play new programs on ICC all the time, and they generally lose every game for the first few months until they become more "complete." I don't file those games away... what would be the reason?
