I've already heard your opinion about that but unfortunately I don't share it ,
since Amir said that the problem affected mostly the viewers.
I guess that in case of serious problems we have should heard complaints by
Smirin himself ,since sportmanships or not ,the game is money awarded in the

Amir noted finally:
"This game is remarkable in showing how a 2700 player can be smothered in a game
he believes he can’t possibly lose, without making any outright blunder except
waking up when it’s too late"
