Jan-23-09  KingG: Wells lost on time just as he was about to deliver mate.
Dec-12-09  jontsef: Ouch, Be2 is a forced mate in two. A very nice attacking display by Wells, unfortunate outcome.
Dec-12-09  zanshin: Thanks for the explanation - otherwise I would be wondering why the resignation with a forced mate in hand. Sometimes I think there should be a special annotation for games that were decided by time or other factors (e.g. touch move rule or Tournament Director decision).

  scutigera: Whenever you see an oddly disadvantageous decision on move 39, or for earlier eras any move ending in 9 or sometimes 4, consider time trouble. Series of mutual mistakes leading up to time breakpoints also show up, and resignations on move 41 are common too, after overnight analysis reveals issues overlooked in a time scramble.
