First of all
a) it was not a dead draw
b) i had warned him
c) he was stubborn
d) when it was too late he started realizing and begged like a baby
e) after the game Bas acted very sportmanship by giving a hand
f) you guys are completely idiotic to assume things without being
there.
g) at tournament levels i nearly always lost more operator time
than my opponents, with exception of the last so many moves when
in time trouble. That's what happened here too.
h) If one time you lose
10 minutes with a score of -3.xx or whatever, me being a piece up
or whatever, why still remember it, i would already have resigned
the game in disgust.
Best regards,
Vincent
