In blitz games you can loose if you run out of thinking time. The opponent must then claim winning the game because the "flag" has fallen. The word flag was used because in the past (before digital chess clocks were used) clocks had a little flag that fell when the thinking time for the game was over for one of the players.

what were they discussing in particular???
i always thought chess rules were quite clear cut, cant see how a discussion like that could ever occur

What it was about is not so interesting. They were talking all at the same time, this made it very difficult to understand what the fuss was about.

This are things that happen in almost in every blitz tournament. Discussions about rules, claiming flag etc...
The players agreed a draw after some discussion.
ps. I was not involved.
