Aganju: In Brainking's defense, I'd think "no one will play a match with more than 255 games" was a reasonable programming assumption...

You'd need double server capacity to store the games on a 2-byte counter right?

It seems entirely possible that a 10-wins match with a high probability of ending in a draw could reach that many games. But then again, who'd want to play 230+ draws out of 255 games!
