It must have been on purpose. It is not responsible to lose a game on time but I disagree that it must have been on purpose. The operator had other jobs like talking on the telephone but he expected to talk less time. The game was not very important for the teams because the team of shredder knew that there is no practical chance that the result will change something for them and the opponent team knew that they will play next year in the second league even if they win 7:0. This may be a reason for the fact that the operator of shredder took the risk of losing on time but I do not think that there was a decision to lose on time before the game). >I have been an operator in Skelleftea and I thoght it was my duty to have >everything installed and ready when the players arrived.

Fortunately it did not happen in the last 5 rounds. My job was only to play the moves and install the books. Uri
