If in a "human" tournament I feel so bad that I can't continue the game I would probably resign, and if my position was winning, I would expect my opponent to offer a draw instead, but nothing forces him, so he could simply take the whole point. I think both players were gentlemen in this game, but according to the rules, if a player can't finish his game, he lose on time. José C.
