  Willber G: The score is wrong, black resigned at this point. 1-0.

  tamar: DGT gremlins took away 1/2 point from Inarkiev because King on e5 signals draw once arbiter puts White King on e4.

43 Qb2 mate would have avoided those shenanigans.

  AylerKupp: 43.Qb2# was not bad, but what was wrong with Rxf5+ at any time after 39...Qf5? Would Black have kept playing a effectively a rook down?
Jul-10-17  Mirovsk: I don't get it....could anyone explain more clearly why is a draw?

  AylerKupp: Yes, the official site (https://worldchess.com/events/europ...) has the score 1-0.
Jul-11-17  whiteshark: It is most likely that black resigned after 42.Rhg1.

<DGT gremlins> moved the ♔ afterwards. ;)

Jul-11-17  abuzic: 37.Qg2, threat Rf1 37...bxa5? and Salem swallowed the bait. <37...g5 threat ...Qxh7> could balance the position.
