What's an 'undefeated scrore'?

"Scrore" sounds very much like the term used for 100,000 in India. Sorry, I think that is "lakh". I should have said 100,000,000.

Not a term I'm familiar with, but I think it means the score a player has when he/she has not lost a game.

It would normally be said with the player's score, so if you said the player finished with an undefeated score of 6/9, it's a way of telling the reader that he scored 3 wins and 6 draws.

It reads the undefeated score of 12-5.

That looks like the way Americans sometimes refer to results, meaning 12 points scored and 5 points dropped, so scoring 12/17. Undefeated, it means the player scored 12/17 by winning 7 games, drawing 10 and losing none.

What does it mean that the match Ulvestad-Zemgalis was a natural?

[Barry Sandercock]

That seems a very strange term. I don't know what it means.

[soheil_hooshdaran]

It reads "The match Ulvestad-Zemgalis was a natural and on the weekend of July 4th in 1952 the two players faced off". if this makes more sense.
