By giving a player a chance to achieve a full point, when at best he could only hope for ½ point makes the decision to null the game a very bad one. The position was lost for GM Smirin. The most likely outcome was a win for Junior. GM Smirin had no chance to gain a Full point. Accept by the decision to null the game. IMO The match is now tainted.
