The following position is a curious case of mutual blindness. Darga resigned in a winning position. Both players imagined that 43.Ke3 was impossible because it would place the King under attack by the Rook on e6! The premature resignation may even have cost Darga a place in the subsequent playoff for the last spot in the Candidates matches.
