This scenario has a real world corollary in Chess. In their first battle together for the world championship Karpov – Kasparov squared off in 1984, Karpov jumped out to huge lead of 4-0. What followed was 17 consecutive draws and Karpov pushed the score to 5-0, one more win and match is over. The match turned bizarre after the 5th win, strange early draws, and psychological pressure and finally after a total of 48 games the match was stopped with the score 5-3 and neither player declared the winner.
