Well, the game mentioned by zukole was other situation - there was no objection and if it is agreed by both teams, it is valid.

But I don't see the situation as clear as Attila, not at all.
Of course there is no automatic right to replay the game after disconnect, but if the players agree to play another game instead, it is possible. And about particular game decide both players. If the player offers draw and is accepted, it is draw even if captain protests and says he had winning position, the same if a player resigns and captain doesnt agree. The player should consult this with captain first, but if he doesn't, it's his problem.

Well, KR really didn't provide a complete reasoning and explanation, that's why committee members themself had to investigate instead.

But there are also many arguments that say that 16-16 would be fair in this case.
For example:
- both players agreed about playing third game instead of first, interrupted by disconnection after few moves
- all other games were finished and players observed the third game, noone objected or demanded interruption of this now "illegal" game as invalid and continuation of the match
- match score was counted including this game by zukole and nobody protested until the end of match, thus KR also was given false hope that they are fighting for draw, they might also choose different tactics if the score was different.

So there IS a reason, why this decision is not easy, Attila...
