I agree so thanks for starting a new thread!
Game 9
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimzo-Indian_Defence

The Karpov Variation, (7...dxc4 8.Bxc4 cxd4 9.exd4 b6) named after former World Champion Anatoly Karpov, is one of Black's most reliable defences to the Rubinstein System. For the moment, White has an isolated pawn in the d-file, even so, Black plans to play ...Bxc3 at some point and follow up with ...Bb7, ...Nbd7, ...R(a)c8 and ...Qc7 to restrain White's c- and d-pawns. After 7...dxc4 8.Bxc4 cxd4 9.exd4 b6 the game usually continues 10.Bg5 Bb7, when 11.Ne5, 11.Re1, 11.Rc1 and 11.Qe2 are all good moves for White.

Position is now equal - so far so drawish with 15...h6 probably to follow.

However VA has just played Bxf3? and now BG is better after Qxf3.

VA has just played Rfe8 (a novelty) and now 17. Rfe1 by BG will give white a very good position.
[d] 2r1r1k1/p1qn1ppp/1p2pn2/6B1/2PP4/3B1Q2/P4PPP/2R1R1K1 b - - 2 17
However BG has just played Rfd1! instead which is still very good for white.

Equal position which looks drawn already but at least it is an unusual opening. I think VA was already out of his preparation after 5...e5.

Why did they call it a draw in the middle of the game. Chickens.

Well the game was drawn right from the start but they could have still played on for a bit longer.
