The draw was after Larry's 45th move. The time control did not have any moves
attached to it. It was a fairly bizarre time control that Larry agreed to after
a few discussions -- 2 minutes + 2 minutes per move.

Some thought that this was a "blitz" time control, but game 4 took approximately
2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. Game 1 took 2:40:00, game 2 took 3:14:00,
and game 3 took 4:12:00(!) -- with both sides taking approximately equal time.
