> I'm assuming we'll stop as soon as one side has 4 victories. This might lead to a situation known from David Levy's chess bets: "Each time" a match with 6 games was played - and stopped when one side had 3.5 or more points.
In 1978 Levy won against Chess4.x by 4-0. In 1984(?) Levy won against Cray Blitz by 4-0.
