I used my solver to analyze all 36 games in Group 1.
22 games were played perfectly. Some of those still ended in 2:0 though, as the 2nd player timed out.
The 14 games below had suboptimal moves, which we'll call blunders.Each blunder is preceded by an optimal alternative between parentheses and followed by a = or + to indicate that the player to move has a draw or win. The question marks in game #1724612 indicate that I have yet to pinpoint the exact ply at which the game became a draw.

Congratulations to santi for perfect play without the help of a solver!
Curiously, there is 1 point blundered on average over all 36 games.
I am in the process of preparing a public github repository with the code and opening book for the 8x8 solver.
Stay tuned...
