Transcribing broadcasting matches.

I've said this before, a match means little to me if I didn't watch it unfold live.

I don't know how much a match watched live is different from the one in XG format. I guess the difference cannot be big enough to make the latter meaningless.

For example, in a finals match quite while ago I played roughly a 4.0. I revisited the match and including errors I shouldn't have made and errors I should have made but didn't I would have done better to play around a 5.0 in that particular match. PR is near meaningless if you know what you're doing.

One match is not a sample. Take an average of many matches and numbers of this one will have little effect on a bigger sample. I have tried to play both my best game and adjust for my opponent. Difference in PR in a long run is rather small. So, every time someone plays 12.x and says he was "adjusting" I just laugh at him. Sure, PR cannot tell you the whole story, but is nowhere near meaningless.

Sure, if I'm playing Neil or Falafelfish my PR needs to hover as close to 0 as possible, otherwise, to the trash heap it goes and who cares.

I am sure you don't mean just these two. Anyway, there are many more things you, or someone else could do with these matches.
