2010 Tourney

Congratulations to Abusimbel for winning!
I am getting confused though... when I click the 2010 link it does show Abusimbel winning 9 - 8.5 over davidswhite.
However when I click the Tournament crosstable it shows that the tournament is indeed finished, but that davidswhite finished with 8.5 points to abusimbel's 8 points, and the totals check out.
What happened? Who is the 'Official' winner.
Congratulations to BOTH though.

Greg,

I'm afraid you're mistaken. The final score was 8.5 for me and 8.0 for
Daniel(abusimbel).
In fact, my match with Daniel ended last night when he offered me a draw in a game which I almost certainly would have won...on the grounds that all I needed was one draw in our 2 games to win the tournament. Because he'd been so very generous in contacting you to add time to our games so I could
recover from an eye infection(entirely on his own initiative,I should add), I felt it would be ungrateful of me to insist on a win when I only needed a draw to win the tourney. With the result decided, I resigned our other game since it no longer mattered in the decision.

Regards,
David

I thought so but far for me to upset the world of chess.

Looks like something is messed up. I just looked at the score on the tournament page. My bad, sorry.
