    Only results after this announcement count. (It's not as if I've just had
    a super-PR match against XG and am looking for an excuse to announce it.)

    I'm not joining your competition, but it so happens that I
    recently played a zero-PR 7-point match against XG. Of course
    the match lasted only one game, but it's still a rare event
    for me. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever done it before. If I
    have, it was years ago.

    I have just finished an 11 point match against XG where I had a PR of 2.01
    I think the fact that this match was longer makes my achievement more impressive than yours.
    I lost the match 19-1 (over 5 games) so I don't think it would impress Murat.

    Yes, a PR of 2.01 over five games is more impressive than a PR of 0
    in one game!
