The decision was made – I suggested finishing the game. You refused.
Moreover, I didn't immediately accept the refusal, but continued to persuade you to finish the game for some time. And only after I realized that your decision was final, I awarded Eddie a technical victory.
The only complaint could be that I missed the moment when Eddie left the club instead of playing this game. But that's more of an organizational issue, not a judging one.
Well, the fate of Предса didn't appeal to me, especially with such confidence from my opponent in his strategy))
And Eddie did leave the club, but not entirely; we left together, but when it was time to finish the game, he managed to be absent, quite a display of discipline!..
But I'm talking about the earlier decision, in the club itself – when the problem was identified – and not here on the forum afterwards :)
