With lots of games in progress at once and everyone intent on the competition, it isn't hard for scorekeepers to misrecord or mistranscribe a move, leaving a permanent void in the record of play. Such snafus are unacceptable, especially when a global audience of aficionados eagerly awaits the results of certain matches.
