Suppose he gives you a break on all 6 and crafty winds up winning the match, do you take his money then? Hmmm. This goes without saying I suppose, but I would be concerned about what appears to be a hardware problem. If it is a hardware problem, rating the games seems kind of pointless as it would not reflect playing strength in any way. If you don't care about that then yes rate it!
