  Open Defence: is the score incomplete ?
Nov-18-08  Jim Bartle: Yes, what does the annotation after the last move mean? "Huebner resigned the match with two unfinished games."

Does this mean with two games remaining, or with two games adjourned¿

  Open Defence: ok, Huebner withdrew from the match I think, but then shouldn't it be recorded as a loss ?

I understand 2 unfinished games to mean they probably were under adjournment but let me do some research

The situation: After 6 games Hübner was leading with +2 =3 -1, then he lost game 7 + 8.

This 9th game looks drawish and the adjourned game 10 is simply lost.

I think the outcome of game 7 decided the match when Hübner blundered terribly : Huebner vs Korchnoi, 1980
