I believe in Portelli - Glendura (covered in the report above) Black played 35...0-0-0 rather than resigning, and neither player noticed the illegal move.
If you're right, what was the arbiter doing?
Also, was no-one monitoring the live game transmission? Probably not, when games like

Which is funny because the king only moved back to e8 two moves earlier. Anyway presumably this explains why the games online stop at move 35.
