Wow, they got out of bed for this?
Time spent: white 6 minutes, black 11 minutes … and then back to bed?? ,:)
More puzzling to me is that Radjabov-Shirov is given as a draw on the tournament live page (and other sources), though Shirov is about to lose his knight (or the exchange) in the final position. If this is an error in the live transmission, it still isn’t corrected two hours after the game ended. Or was it another drama in mutual time trouble?
