Cori v.s. rajabov Scandle

On round one, Jorge Cori played against Rajabov. in the first two games, both were tied, in the first tie brake (25 10) Cori beat rajabov, and lost one. for the next tie brake Cori was cheated, Cori heard the arbitrator say that the game time was at 6:50, now the actuall game time was at 6:15 you can see, fifty and fifteen can sound the same, and the arbitrator was asian, i think he told Cori the time in english, so you can see, a non native speaker telling another non native speaker a time that could sound like another time might turn out bad. So Cori saw that players were sitting down at their boards so he rushed to the place but he was 2 MINUTES LATE so he was forfited?? And the horrible thing about this is that on their website they don't have the specific times for the tiebrake games! IM squareology talks about this in this video starting at minute 15 http://www.chess.com/blog/squarology/chess-world-cup-1-after-round-1

He still went to the second tie brake game and tied! as black! who know what might have happend if he wasn't cheated out of playing with the white pieces.

I want to hear you opinions.

Cori should have played the game

I dont think you get it... they lied to cori about the time!!!

Tough for Cori, but the reason they don't publish starting times for blitz tiebreak games in advance is that these depend on when the rapid games finish. They didn't "lie" to Cori, but he misunderstood when the games would begin. The same thing happened to Radjabov himself as well as Polgar when they lost rapid matches to Anand after being late:

As for Cori being able to draw the last game as black, well, that was the result Radjabov needed to advance and it isn't certain that the game would have looked the same in other circumstances. But Cori was of course very unlucky.

Let's make it happen!

actually the ref told him that the time was 6:50 and so he went at 6:30 to get there eairly....

acually he saw them sitting down on the internet so he ran to the playing room but was 2 minutes late

Cori appealed and his appeal was unanimously rejected by the committee. You can see the rejection letter in this link.

"The committee received evidence that both of the players were informed of the correct time of the start of the next round."

So no, Cori was not cheated, he cheated himself by not showing up on time.

END OF STORY.

Ah yes but he is from south ameriaca and could not access the time online. I should have been avalible

THERE WAS NO TIME ONLINE!!!

What does being from South America have to do with anything? Should people from South America follow different rules that people from other areas?

my friend I said that Time online should have been available

no but they do speak a different language...

He thought he heard him say 6:50, and he asked to confirm if that was the time. Because the person figured that he was going to say 6:15, which does sound like 6:50, he just said yes.
