Thanks.
Ramadan cup is underway (whose round typically occur about one hour after sunset) .
Yesterday, Black had a lost position and decided to resign, but in his time he told something to his opponent and walked to eat sweets and drink water. Upon returning, he made a move and now his opponent was wasting time.
Black had written the results on the match card and gave it to White to sign it. Then Black took back the match card and placed it beneath his hands.
I told Black to sign and go, otherwise I will exclude him from the tournament table.
After the chief arbiter came and put me aside, I told her the match card is signed. She went to them and saw the match card and said something to them.
I then told the players the next time you annoy the arbiter, I know what to do with you
Was I right?

I don't understand what you have written.

If a player irritates an arbiter so, he should be expelled from the tournament. His entry should be refused for future events. If the organiser, or senior arbiter won't back you, then you should consider your position.

What would be the ruling if White's clock fell after Qxf6 in

?
The time control was 15+5

Black has sufficient material that, given sufficiently incompetent play by White, Black could still win. Therefore the arbiter would award the game to Black. (That assumes that White hadn't, before his flag fell, claimed a draw on the basis that his opponent could not win by normal means).

No such claim would have been possible, Roger

I thought that since the were forced moves leading to mate, the game would be drawn

There aren't forced moves leading to mate. Just because White has mate in 1 (after Qxf6) doesn't mean he has to play it. If he played the worst possible moves on the board he could lose all 3 of his pieces in the next 3 moves.

Sorry, David, my mistake. Arbiter awards game to Black, full stop.

Roger, you should also note that even if there were no increment Quickplay Finish rules are not the default.
FIDE Laws of Chess 2018 wrote:III.2.1 The Guidelines below concerning the final period of the game including Quickplay Finishes, shall only be used at an event if their use has been announced beforehand
Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

I doubt QPF will be in the next edition of the Laws. Only with Makro's help did it stay there this time.
Geurt Gijssen thinks it better to flail around with king and knight v king and bishop until one flag drops. Mind you, he has no say any more either.

MORE INTERESTINGLY: I thought the tiebreak rules in the cricket made some of the chess ones look sensible.

Although I mildly dislike increments I would happily take them just to stop that sort of internet troll behaviour translating to real life - nothing better then to screw talentless clowns out of getting an unjust win on time

Those three moves by White are even more unbelievable than Stokes scoring a six with two hits!!

Owzat!?

Sorry, what does
" It is important that the
arbiter does not mislead the player, nor advise him, nor advance any further" mean in the interpretation of 11.9?
