GM Daniel Dardha (ACS Superchess, 2612) beat FM Alexandru-Ovidiu Stanciu (Pionii Regelui Romanesti, 2284) in 28 moves in round 2 of the Romanian Super League, and finished with 53 minutes on the clock against seven.
Stanciu spent more than 41 minutes on one move, 18...Rf7.
Stockfish's objection came later, on 26...Rg5, played with 9:38 left. It wanted 26...Rg8, and counted White clearly better before (+2.10) and winning after (+2.51). 27.Ne3, its first choice, came straight back, and the game ended after 28.Bf4.
ACS Superchess won the match 3½–2½.
Go back to 26...Rg5 and find 26...Rg8. Then play it on against the engine.
