It's possible that the game was "thrown". IIRC, FIDE requires that both players
make some kind of attempt at competition (I can't remember the exact wording).
Usually, this is to prevent a quick 3-fold draw when the players don't feel like
playing for whatever reason.

Perhaps this was a moderately well-concealed attempt to give the win to Vogel?

Just thinking out loud....
