Calling the arbiter

Sort:
Muisuitglijder

After witnessing a pathetic action by grandmaster Sergei Zhigalko in his game against Hikaru Nakamura from the World Rapid 2019, shown in the following video, i thought it would be a nice idea to create a thread involving arbiter cases. Preferably shown in videos.

Anyway, in the following video, the moment the arbiter is called happens at 2:10. I set the time stamp a little earlier. Check it out.

Anyway, in the following video, the moment the arbiter is called happens at 1:50. I set the time stamp a few seconds earlier. Check it out.

 

But there is nothing to see here. Naja accidentally knocked over his rook and put it back in less than a second.

Don't waste any time on this one. There is nothing to see.

Nothing to see? How long did you even watch after Naka knocked over his rook and put it back? And what kind of a d*ck are you anyway telling people not to waste time on this? If you dont want to waste time on this, fine. Go visit some other thread. And it is always you who reacts the first whenever i start a thread. Are you following me around or what?

I wasted several minutes watching before I searched for more info and used the link to watch it on YouTube and saw all the comments explaining that the rook being knocked over was the whole issue. You could have explained that up front. Nobody thought there was any basis for a claim.

I don't follow you. I am just pretty active looking for unanswered posts.

I could've explained it up front?? If you read the above, what else is there to explain up front, really?

Wow, that was really lame by White.

If anything, Zhigalko should have been given a warning by the arbiter. Accidentally knocking over pieces is not subject to a penalty, but setting them right should be done on your own time. If Zhigalko thought that Nakamura wasted time on Zhigalko's clock setting the rook right again (a totally ludicrous claim by the way - Nakamura presses the clock and on the way back knocks over the rook, and immediately sets it upright, the incident is all over in a couple of tenths of a second), just pressing the clock back would, as far as I know, (still) be the correct procedure on Zhigalko's part here.

The bunny thinks everyone else missed the sparks flying when zhigalko looks up dotingly at the arbiter.  The poor boy just wanted some love and attention.  This could have been a beautiful love story but you folks had to ruin it all focussing on a mere fallen rook. 

Dr. Zhigalko.  The bunny reserves all rights.

Please stay on topic.  We were discussing Dr. Zhigalko.   Thinking of casting Redmayne as the protagonist. 

autobunny

Thank you.  Wallace Shawn as the arbiter perhaps?

why did zhigalko wait till he was 3 min on time? I couldnt hear the arbiters voice clearly.

7.3   If a player displaces one or more pieces, he shall re-establish the correct position on his own time. If necessary, either the player or his opponent shall stop the clocks and ask for the arbiter’s assistance. The arbiter may penalise the player who displaced the pieces.

It doesn't matter how much time was wasted. Zhigalko was perfectly correct in requesting the arbiter.

It's sad that Abhijeet Gupta lost to S.P. Sethuraman in a similar manner.

You see, that rule comes into question when a piece is knocked over on the opponent's time. What are you supposed to do then? Keep the piece displaced until your turn arrives again?

Why is everyone hatin on my boy Zhigalko?

 

Clearly Nakamura is given preferential treatment. He is allowed to knock over pieces and castle with both hands. This is simply top level chess privilege given out only to the super GMs. 

 

He. Knocked. Over. The. Piece. On. Zhigalko's. Turn.

Yes, that is a good option. Or stop the clock and call an arbiter.
