Just to clarify for myself: is this your opinion, Kostya, or the official position of the Tournament Committee?

I wrote IMHO. But a similar situation occurred with the favorites a year ago (or two). There, for two players to leave the group, they needed a draw, and they achieved it. There were no objections from the judges at that time.

And what is better, to simply agree on a draw or write some kind of report like "we got tired of playing on map 225"? If two players want to achieve a certain result, nothing will prevent them from doing so. Denmark and Sweden send greetings to everyone. :D

Are you kidding me????? Maybe it was the perfect result for both teams, but if you look at the game they both tried to win it for most of the game.

Players could not stand on the field for 90 minutes. They must play. Anyway, we never know all truth about this game.
