No, not your point is lost, but you lost a whole game now. You were dead wrong
with your fantasy of a master title for SMK.

It is possible that you confused the rating of SMK with that of his Jonny
opponent Zwanzger who really is a master with probably 2350 or such some.

I bet my beard that ChessBase NEVER has written that SMK has a master title.
Period.
