The game posted WW looks like a Helpmate.

Black to play:



38...Re5 39.g4 mate



The move numbers may indicate the dreaded TT as time control
is 90 minutes for 40 moves + 30 minutes + 30 seconds (move 1)

This is also from the 2010 Olympiad.

O. Sikorova - S. Ranasinghe Czech Rep v Sri Lank (Rd.7).

Like the Olympid games. So fresh! And, as a Grob fan I'll give ChessPraxis extra points for reiterating the might of the g pawn.

yeah, it's incredible that something like that happened between two grandmasters, in a slow game. maybe even more embarrassing than kramnik's mate in one.



(been there myself, though. when you don't see it, you just don't see it no matter how long you stare at it.)
