Recently on this message board I have read post by several who stated that they resigned early out of respect and etiquette for grandmasters. Ironically this same "respect" is not shown by grandmasters as the game below demonstrates. If i was shroeder I would have felt totally disrepected by GM Akesson who was in the words of Jerome Noomen "Dead Lost". I get the impression that the Grandmaster played on out of spite, for he is apparently lost. How else can you explain his refusal to resign? Surely he wasn't hoping to a blunder by rebel!!
