I remember that Ed believe that Rebel did not lose the game because of hardware problems but we will never know. I did not analyze the relevant game but even if Rebel got a bad position not because of hardware problems it is still possible that Rebel could save a draw out of the bad position without hardware problems(remember that Rebel saved a draw from a lost position against smyslov).
