Mar-23-10		nescio: <Garech: Wny resign? Was this a mobile phone forfeit?> I can only suppose this is a rhetorical question, but there is something strange about the last moves of this game. 30.Kd3?? would have been a huge blunder for a player like Tseshkovsky. Yet Petrosian didn't play 30...Rf3+. It's always possible that both players were in terrible timetrouble, but I suspect there is something wrong with the gamescore.

Mar-23-10		Benzol: <Garech> <nescio> Tseshkovsky lost on time according to Vol 2 of The Games Of Tigran Petrosian. The gamescore is incorrect at move 30. It should be 30.Ke2 not d3. I will submit a correction.
