По слухам Мамедьяров опоздал на 10 секунд. Ну не дурдом ли?

А Малахов очень технично окучил вчерашнего лидера ( вьювер внизу )

As we (Chessbase) reported yesterday, the second seed in this Championship, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, had just begun his second-half surge when he ran afoul of the "zero tolerance" rule that punishes any player who is not seated at the board when the starting gong for a round sounds with immediate forfeit. The Azeri GM arrived "about ten seconds late" (he said) for his round eight game and was defaulted.

Today he topped it by breaking a different rule: the Sophia Rule which forbids players to offer or accept draws before move 40. In his black game against Alvar Alonso Rosell, rated 2513, the two agreed to a draw after move 19 and were immediately defaulted. The game was scored 0:0.

Another game, lower down on the table, ended in a similar default: Baron,Tal (2497) - Safarli,Eltaj (2645) [E05]

But hang on, we hear you cry, why was the Akopian-Malakhov 16-move game quoted above allowed to stand, while these two were forfeited? Baron-Safarli was also a three-fold repetition, but – and this is the critical difference – while Akopian and Malakhov formally asked the referee permission to abandon their game, Baron and Safarli did not. They simply signed the scoresheets and quit.

 

 Jakovenko clear first at EICC
