Aug-15-13  Fish55: For the last 30 moves of the game neither player seemed to understand how to win, or to not lose.

  Check It Out: Here are a couple articles about the three-fold draw claim and the arbiter's questionable handling of it:

Aug-15-13  dumbgai: Sounds like people making a big deal out of nothing. It's obvious that the position would repeat itself three times, who cares whether he writes the move down first or whatever?
Aug-15-13  dumbgai: Reminds me of one game between two women's chess masters where one player promoted a pawn by placing the queen on the promoted square (8th rank) and removing the pawn from the 7th rank. The arbiter forfeited her for not moving the pawn to the 8th rank first before replacing it with the queen. Fighting over trivial stuff like this is totally stupid to me.

Aug-16-13  Libispusher: Position after <46.Rb2-b3??>

Black has a pawn deficit and some hanging pieces left and right but was zoning in on the white monarch. Dreev missed the stunning <46…f5!!> which was quickly suggested by the silicon and now it is white that has to give up material. In the game he played <46…Ne1??> instead.

The tactical possibilities arising from the position seemed so overwhelmingly complex for both parties to the extent that white had to tap out, albeit with controversy, in conclusion. I was kind of expecting this match to veer towards quiet and deliberate types of games.
