To CCCC administrators : strange games at CCCC

Post by ernest »

Just watched game 450 : Nemorino-Ethereal (I am interested to see if Ethereal will make the cut, I hope so...)

Well, around move 70, Ethereal has an easy endgame win and starts playing random, repetitious moves !

And suddenly, the game stops, and a new Nemorino-Ethereal game starts from the beginning : bogus game, with no effect, I know, the previous game will be adjudicated in Ethereal's favor...

...but I would still be interested to know what happened.
