Questioning game result

Avatar of Gus2105

I was studying openings on chess.com when I run across the following game:

Brandics Jozsef (2297) vs. Meszaros Andras (2291)

 It (open) \ - Richter-Veresov attack (D01) - 1-0 Date: 1989

It says that white won. However the position is clearly won by black who either mates white or wins white's Queen. I think white must have resigned the position.

 

 

In chessgames.com the same game includes the final wining move by black but again the score is 1-0 for white. I guess my question is could this be a mistake (it must be) and I wonder how many mistakes like this are present in these databases? Not that I am a chess wizard or anything, but I am just curious.

Seems to be a cascading typo.  Looked at the chessbase megabase and I see a 1-0 result there as well.

Though the very unlikely possbility of a forfeit also exists :)

I'd change the score to Brandics 1.2 Meszaros -0.2 to reflect the latter's poor play.
