the venue, if not in the hall):} h6 {"While he was making his 33rd move,
Taimanov's clock flag fell (the time-limit is 34 moves per two hours) so he
forfeited the game. He was, of course, hope­lessly lost. He had run terribly
short of time seven or eight moves before." (Source: BH Wood, Birmingham Daily
Post - Wednesday 04 January 1956; and also Illustrated London News - Saturday
14 January 1956)} (33... Rc8 34. Nd1 {(lost on time) is the end of game given
in the Manchester Guardian, 31 December 1955 and the Sunday Times, 29 January
1956.}) 1-0
