If two parties agree on FOUR games and there is a winner then we can say the winner is_the_best_or even the strongest. If this was NOT to be the case then we can say the same about any Super Bowl winner. OH it was only one game. What? you expect to play 100 super bowl games. Look a tourney is an agreed tourney between two parties with the understanding of possibly ONE winner who has the GLORY of saying I AM THE BEST!! Dont take anything away from a winner. In the Kaspy ver Computer match we can say there were no winners. Title wise.
