:35:02
The jury will reject it.
The game was in accord with the rules.
:35:06
Read that.
:35:19
"We recommend an official protest...
:35:22
on grounds of opponent's
intolerable attitude.
:35:27
Withdraw if he refuses to apologize.
:35:31
Have sent Grandmaster Fadenko
and Professor Polotin...
:35:37
with verbal instructions.
:35:40
Antonin Karapov."
The minister himself.
:35:45
What Grandmaster Fromm is doing
is not against the rules.
:35:48
Listen, I'm here unofficially.
The jury hasn't convened yet.
:35:52
The Soviets think
that Fromm's repeated tardiness...
:35:55
is deliberately calculated to destroy
his opponent's concentration.
:35:58
They want the game nullified.
:36:00
That's absurd! To disturb your opponent,
you must be present...
:36:03
and Fromm was not there.
This is ridiculous.
:36:07
What does Liebskind's letter say?
:36:09
To my knowledge,
he demands that the two players...
:36:12
arrive at the same time
at the beginning of each game.
:36:15
That's not stipulated
anywhere in the protocol.
:36:17
Liebskind's demand has no legal basis,
and you know it.
:36:22
The jury would still appreciate it
if Fromm granted this request...
:36:26
and, as a gesture of appeasement,
he apologized to his opponent.
:36:30
- But it's unintentional.
- Unintentional but systematic.
:36:33
- Whose side are you on?
- The Soviets threaten to withdraw.
:36:36
I'll write your letter of apology.
The bastards!
:36:40
I won't give them
an excuse to run out on me.
