I tend to believe him - if he wanted to throw the game he could have made it much more obvious. None of the other games (except Bosboom's) look at all suspicous to me. BTW, I think it's a shame that the sudden death time control didn't include an increment. Tiviakov essentially had to play the last 20 moves of today's game at a blitz pace, which kept him from winning an easily won game. Instead of insisting that Fritz play without endgame tablebases, the players should have demanded a time increment in the sudden-death time control. --Peter
