aswer to Ziryab and Bean Fischer.

He didn't blunder early in the game or fall in an opening trap.The analysis shows that both players made mistakes during the midgame.The 2161 spent all his time before the time control at the 40th move to find a winning plan,but didn't find an appropriate one.He also spent the bonus of the 30 mins to win the endgame.The game was played till the endgame with 1 rook and 2 pawns each.The stronger player was struggling for a win,but this was his disaster because led him to an endgame blunder and he lost control of the endgame.So his draw offer was not accepted by the other player who saw the win.When the 2161 had 58 secs left and 1 pawn and the 1589 had 1 pawn and 1 rook with 58 mins left the resignation came naturally.
