"There is no "real" difference to playing to win and plying for a low PR between two top players."

There are a bunch of little quirks where a player should behave differently than if it is a standard match. They may be small effects but definitely exist.

Here is another one I realized since then. In a standard match one should budget more time to games in which the cube has gotten higher. But in a PR match that game is no more important than games with the cube on 1.

These are all in addition to issues arising from XG not being perfect. A good example that was discussed recently is it undervalues deep backgames. A player who knows from intense study that a position is a close take might also know that the bot will ding him with an error for taking.
