    interesting reading, but ...

    Some of the reasoning reminds me of sailing disputes way back when. If someone's in the wrong, then you have to be sure to hit them first, not the racing mark, for example, or you will be found at fault.

    Anyway, looks like good reading for prospective Arbiters.
    Dogs will bark, but the caravan of chess moves on.

      Hello chess fans, if you have a proposed case for this magazine, please send it to me at:
      arismarghetis at rogers dot com

      Please include as much situational info as possible (time controls, ratings of players, etc.)
      Generally speaking, the more detail provided, the more likely that I'll build an article for it.
      If you prefer something NOT published, like names of players, the event, etc., just say so.

      Thank you and best regards,

      Aris Marghetis
      Secretary, FIDE Arbiters' Commission

        I recall an event where a player resigned but was then overruled by a committee and awarded a win.

          If it's the same event I'm thinking of, Player A cheated which resulted in Player B resigning. When the cheating was quickly discovered by Player B (there were witnesses), Player B protested the game result. His protest was denied by the TD. Subsequently the tournament arbitration committee upheld the TD's decision and Player B still had a loss. Subsequent to that it went to the National Appeals Committee which held that the TD was correct since a resigned game is over and the outcome cannot be disputed. Nonetheless the NAC found that cheating had taken place and sanctions were imposed against the cheating player (Player A) including forfeiture of the game and a suspension from playing. Which meant that Player B, after some time, "won" the game.

          I checked the crosstable for the event and I'm thinking of, and one can see that there are two players who, while each ranked in the middle of a given score-group, have scores that are outside that score-group.
