I would go further to say that unless it is a match, it is not a match. Frequently, good players will try new ideas against online computer systems to search for tactical holes. If they are not playing a real "match" calling it one is more than misleading. It is deceptive. I think a formal retraction and apology is in order. That is not to say that the computer program is not an excellent one. But to claim a match victory against Seriwan is a sham.
