Jun-23-05  aw1988: The best thing to do is to check other databases and see. If it IS the correct result, it is most likely time.

Sep-20-12  vikram2791: GM Short said that he wasn't prepared for this match and it came to him as a suprise. Wonder if that is true...

  PawnSac: Joel's bio says...
< In December 1983 in a match against Nigel Short he won decisively (+4, =3, -0) >

In this game it is black to move and he is in check, and he did NOT move! Either BLACK lost on time, or he resigned.
