You could not declare that game a win for the computer and survive.
Yes, and I really hate this. You have a situation where the actual
winner has to resign the game in order to not be ridiculed as being
petty.
I hate absolute time limits for this reason. Even a small byo yomi
prevents wins for such a stupid reason. Certainly, humans can't have
10 millisecond response times like a computer.
And is the human player supposed to feel good about his "victory?"
Nobody should be happy with a game decided by time in late yose.
Of course, rules are rules. I just don't play games with absolute time
