Alan, given that before the incident your position was drawn, a patient died within 50 yards of your board, his colleague ran the full length of the tournament hall shouting incoherently, all games were stopped for about 15 minutes, and there was a large crowd watching the resuscitation attempts for the rest of your game, and you didn't even know the reason for the commotion, I excuse your mistake on move 64 this time round. This experience should make you a better player for 2016. No excuses next time.
