Okay...
Let's get to the truth step by step.
To apply the rules to a situation, we need to clarify what that situation is.
1) Is this a stalemate?
2) Is this a negotiable situation?
P.S.: A condition of a negotiable situation is precisely someone's desire.
For example: one of the parties didn't like the change in the situation and, according to their desire, offers the opponent certain conditions in order not to continue the competition to the end and resolve it through an agreement - for example, to divide the prizes for 2nd and 4th place (as it was in Moscow SNGsod :) ) or to divide the prizes in a poker tournament, etc.
Stop beating around the bush. Suggest how they should proceed in this situation. :)
And if there is no answer, then we need to admit that it's a stalemate.
Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
