I couldn't figure out the color thing either. She had white in two draws and in
one win. It doesn't make sense to give her white in the four longer games and
Black in the shorter ones.... maybe someone has more information?

However, for game 7, Polgar did have a win. Why Fritz resigned so soon I don't
know, but things would have gotten worse fast.
