Baru-baru ini, dalam ruangan "Arbiter's Notebook" oleh Geurt Gjissen, saya tertarik dengan satu soalan yang ditanyakan oleh seorang IA dari Pulau Pinang, Malaysia (!). Beliau juga merupakan seorang kolumnis tetap kepada 1 ruangan catur dalam suratkhabar The Star pada setiap hari Jumaat. Beliau yang saya maksudkan ialah IA Quah Seng Sun.
Beliau telah mengemukakan 1 situasi sebenar yang berlaku dalam satu kejohanan catur di negara kita. Berikut ialah soalan beliau :
Situation 1 There was a team match using a 90-minutes time control (play to finish). In one of the games, both players were very short of time and they were blitzing. Player A's flag dropped and two or three seconds later, Player B noticed it. But as he was about to stop his clock, his own flag dropped. The arbiter saw everything and gave the win to Player B. How correct was this, and would the decision be any difference if no arbiter was present?
