In reality, it's high time to make changes to the "standard rules" themselves. When bidding for colors, Redraw should be allowed everywhere; otherwise, the whole point of this bidding is lost.

Regarding the topic: I don't want to take either side, but formally, Jubi is wrong, and a replay is still a lenient solution. Back in the day, I received replays, and even technical defeats, for much less, and I was very upset. But I remember that Preds said at the time: why sign up for Tournaments if you don't agree with the rules? Play fun games according to the rules that you agree on with your opponent.
1) An opponent does not have the right to play 10 turns without informing the opponent if they believe that the opponent has violated the rules.
2) An opponent does not have the right to say "I surrender if we start a new game now" and then say "I won, you have a technical defeat." Surrendering after 10 turns is impossible if you won by technical defeat against the opponent 10 turns ago (you have already won, so how can you surrender?), and if a player offers to surrender, it means that they are playing with the understanding that the opponent is defeating them, which excludes the possibility of a technical defeat – this is iron logic, and there can be no other interpretations.

Bishop offered to surrender and only AFTER that declared a technical defeat; this is recorded. In this regard, the question is, how can Bishop be right in this situation, and Jubi be wrong? Only in the case of a lack of logic or in the case of bias.

Here is real food for thought for the judges (in addition to the logically introduced cancellation of Redraw – otherwise, why have the bidding for colors at all) – to punish for mutually exclusive statements, for hypocrisy, and for being cunning
