  Phony Benoni: The year is wrong; it should be 1979. By the way, I hope this is a loss on time; the final position is won for White.
Aug-18-07  Benzol: <Phony Benoni> The year has been corrected and yes, it was a win on time for Black. Pity White wasn't able to play 65.♕a8+ ♔b5 66.♕b7+ ♔c5 67.d4+ ♗xd4 68.♕a7+.

<Margeir Petursson had a heart-breaking loss when he forfeited on time in a winning position against James Tarjan. Petursson misread his scoresheet, and after 64 moves sat contemplating for over a minute when his flag fell, and he had not made the time control at move 65.>
