and yet..Kaspy had blundered against F8 in just the game before..
i think if this were a game against two human GM'S for the world
championship..the player would play on a bit more, if for no other reason then
to perhaps annoy Kaspy and possibly provoke another blunder
psychological factors play a great role in human matches,so why not here?

i am thinking that Kaspy might have pressured the F8 team into resigning a bit
prematurely
this could have been accomplished by annoyed facial guestures or grunts of
dissaproval from the great one if it appeared the F8 team was condsidering to
play on

i am sure Kaspy expected the F8 team to resign once the A6 pawn fell,because he
resigned soon after he blundered the E4 pawn in game 3.
