Because neither Chinito nor me were playing with a ChessBase interface, the game couldn't be relayed live and they were doing it manually with scoresheets. Unfortunately the CB guy couldn't read either of our handwriting. Later in the game there was a power failure so we lost the internal move records. At move 59/60 I noticed I was missing a move so I stopped recording. Chinito also had to stop recording when he got into severe timetrouble. So I suspect a correct move record will be very hard if not impossible to come by. Basically, Sjeng got a cramped position, grabbed a pawn like a real beancounter, almost got itself mated and had to give 2 pawns to stay in the game. It exchanged into an unequal bishop endgame which Chinito converted to a win in another few hundred moves. Nice game by Chinito. Sjeng's playing like a beginner this tournament :( Maybe it was distracted by the Chinito 'appointed volunteer' operator: Woman's Grandmaster Eva Moser. -- GCP
