White had a winning position, but Black (London) was winning on time. So accepting the draw offer from Moscow was an acceptable decision for both sides.

With great ingenuity on both sides, some borrowed sets and some draw negotiations the match somehow got played. Alas, it ended in a narrow 7-5 defeat for Dulwich. Click here for match details.
