Nov-24-07  cannibal: Actually I was hoping for the official site to change the result to 0-1, but apparently Peralta indeed overstepped the time limit. Which would be a pity, because a) he had completely demolished Inarkiev (and also didn't seem to have any problems mating with B+N :-)), and b) there was actually 30 seconds increment, so no reason to lose on time.
Nov-24-07  SickedChess: Maybe Peralta missed how to checkmate and thinked a lot. This final is in "Tratado General de Ajedrez de Grau" a superb argentinian chess book.
Nov-24-07  ZIgurat: So real or surreal? Did Peralta play 99. ...Be6?? and allow stalemate?
Nov-25-07  TIMER: This is very easy to win with 30 second per move- so either he missed the stalemate or just forgot about the clock?

  egilarne: Peralta must obviously have forgotten about the clock. But his last moves were not convincing - the N should not go to g7 but to f7, preparing the standard W manouver Nf7-e5-d7-c5-b7 and mating.
Nov-26-07  karik: <eqi> You are right, the official site says black overstepped the time. Anyway, the endgame should be won at blitz rate.
Nov-26-07  Eyal: <Peralta flagged yesterday while pondering how to win B+N vs K... There is no way a GM should be flagging that endgame with a 30 second increment. If karma means anything Peralta will duly lose to Inarkiev today and be eliminated. One rarely spits in Caissa's face without paying a price.> (http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...)

And indeed, Peralta lost the next game to Inarkiev and was eliminated...

Nov-28-07  TIMER: Inarkiev is through to the 3rd round now- but he seemed very lucky in the 1st round as I heard that in both games his opponent ran out of time- the first time draw here as he has no mating material- but the second time he won on time F Peralta vs E Inarkiev, 2007.

By the final positions it should have been 1.5-0.5 to Peralta. It would appear strange that he was not more careful to avoid loss on time after the first game- unbelievable?

One has to feel sorry for him- it is horrible when you have such trouble handling the clocks that you underperform so.

  Eggman: All the examples on the database of ♔+♗+♘v♔ which were drawn occurred in this century, suggesting that time was the key factor.

  FSR: 98...Nh6+ and 99...Nf7, followed by driving the Black king to the a8 corner, is the well-known win.

  FSR: This was played in the first game of the first-round match between Inarkiev (seeded 29th) and Peralta (seeded 100th). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess... Had Peralta won, as you would expect, he would have been on the verge of a big upset. (The match starts with two games played at standard time controls, then moves on to faster time controls if there is a 1-1 tie). After only drawing this game, Peralta in the second game lost on time in a drawn position, and thus was eliminated from the event. F Peralta vs E Inarkiev, 2007.
