Translated from Dutch: original: http://www.nkschaken.nl/schaken/verslag/15mei.htm The game Fritz SSS* - Sergei Tiviakov had a exciting but also strange end. In the entire long manouvrer game had Tiviakov a better position. After he came ahead a pawn, seemed the GM heading towards victory. But because the game came in his final stage the clock also began to speak his word. Frans Morsch offerd Tiviakov with only 2 minutes on the clock a draw. The GM from Groningen refused the propasal and made two moves later with 115...Kxf5 in stead of Ke4 an error. Out of his concentration black offered at the 117th move himnself a draw. After the game Sergei was very disappointed. "I played well. And against every human I had won this game. The machine didn't show respect to me and played on time." Frans Morsch wasn't aware of the harm and apologized himself, but that was a bitter taste for the ex-Russian who felt himself the moral winner of the game.
