Help
Even I would have conceded at this point...
By the way I just see that Italy, 37.7 down with 16 to go scored +13 on board #1... Why am I at work??

At a world championship level I understand playing it out to appease your sponsoring organization/national pride whatever. It's a bit silly in my opinion, but it is good for political reasons.

Well at least one of the Dutch tables is playing speedball, that's for sure. If that is anyone's preferred situation I don't know, but they will finish with an hour or more on the clock.
After 2 boards Italy 16 - SA 0 (other Italy table managed 5, slowest Dutch table 4, fastest 8 boards)
Board 22 SA plays 5♣XX -2 after going for 800 on first board. Someone is psychologically massacring them...

I seem to remember in the past some concessions at high level events.
For instance, US conceded to Poland before the last segment of 2000
Olympiad (they were down by 62). On the other hand, Brazil played
until the bitter end the 2000 BB final although they were losing by
triple digits.
I am too unable to watch live the SAf-Italy match, SAf in front by 3.7
with four boards to go.....
