What's odd about that? Black was clearly a tempo behind. 😕

Only white could have resigned. Only black coud win by time out.

It's possible now to resign when it's not your move.

That happened to me once.
There's not a lot you can do against such an aggressive opponent.

Ah I hadn't realised that.

Therefore Briancron should be commended for his actions as he is no longer anywhere near that band, he did the honourable thing.

He did resign his other two games though and is now out of the tournament, so you do have to give him credit for that. Hungarianknight advances to round 3 with a single move in 4 games. e4 can be very powerful at times!
