3.7.1.b All tie-break games shall be played according to the following:
1. Play is governed by the World Championship Technical Regulations (annex 1), which
apply with the exceptions mentioned below in (2), (3) and (4).
2. The players do not need to record the moves. An arbiter shall record the moves.

if his next move will produce a threefold repetition of position (according to Article 9.2a of
the Technical Regulations), or the 50 moves rule (according to Article 9.3a of the Technical
Regulations), he himself must write the intended move on the score sheet and claim the draw
if he wants. A player can also claim a draw according to Articles 9.2b and 9.3b of the
Technical Regulations. If the claim is found to be correct, the game is immediately ended as a
draw. If the claim is found to be incorrect, the Arbiter shall add two (2) minutes to the
opponent’s remaining time and the game continues with the intended move, in accordance
with Article 4 of the Technical Regulations. A maximum of two (2) incorrect claims for a
draw can be made by each player. If a player makes a third (3rd ) incorrect claim, the arbiter
shall declare the game lost for this player.

other of the ways described in Article 5 of the Technical Regulations, no claim for
irregularities shall be accepted (irregularities include clock settings and all other described in
