I have met some other (big) mistake from him (he never corrected) some years ago. (Of course I'd like and I hope to speak of the issue with him again, but it was not posible until now. Anyway, here the matter is different) Also, IA Mr Geurt Gijssen is a human being and makes errors, like me and everyone else.

The arbiter has more freedom than just giving Smeets extra time, which would be very advantageous voor Radja. Still, it would be very interesting to know what the arbiters would have done if Smeets correctly stopped the clock and asked for the arbiter's assistance. Maybe chessvibes could ask this question if they get the chance to interview one of the arbiters. @Fritschy Frits

I can't make out from any of the videos how long he took to play 39.Re7, but it may easily have been several seconds. Again, the arbiter said Radjabov had 6 seconds left BEFORE 39.Re7.

If you look carefully you see that the only way Radjabov's flag could have fellt, is if he had one second left after making his move. Castro, maybe you should see the video.
