  HeMateMe: Is this a time forfeit? Black seemed to pick a very hard way to win this game, maybe he got lucky with the clock?

I don't know about the time, but white can't improve his position in the slightest, whilst black will slowly eat the three remaining pawns and roll with his own.

Jun-27-13  king 618: 14.c5 from White looks dubious indeed but then it forced black to make a king move.Otherwise,the white knight at d2 will occupy the delicious d6 square..
Oct-19-13  whiteshark: <HeMateMe: Is this a time forfeit?> Yes. Tournament pgn has <'time'> symbol at the end.

(Time control of 25 minutes for the whole game + 10 seconds increment per move.)
