Please let me have some sleep. As I see you question the interpretation of that rule. But for me this is only one part of the problem. Especially Franz di Tolla gave us some other rules. And after these rules Tiviakov had a draw already in his hands if and when he wanted. But it was clear that he wanted a win. Therefore he continued. In that situation a draw offer came totally disturbing him. You might guess what he must have thought. Anyway he blundered and then accepted a draw. The most interesting news was that he could never have lost on time. He still could have claimed a draw 2 seconds before the flag fell. I have no interest in making you looking bad. So let's wait until these special rules are better known. My question in the other thread was "if you knew that Tiviakov couldn't lose on time, meaning that he had always a draw at hand, would you then reconsider the case?". That is still the question. But personally I can't give you more details at the moment. Please let's wait. Why is it a moot question if it was Kasparov who started to make public accusations or if it was not Kasparov. Excuse me if I insist. If the DB side started that psychowar would you still be so angry at Kasparov? I don't understand you. But now I'm running out of time. Zeitnot. :)
