"only" 10, but not "only" 20, curious.

If I can change the result of just four games and make a notable difference with
that, there are not enough games to me. In each of your two matches if I do
that, the result get reversed!

400-100 is what would be consistent with 8-2, not 253-247.

it would be certainly amazing, having something like 400-100 and 80-140.
