Is this fair ?

Today at the Queenstown Classic (NZ) rd7 top board, the game between GMZhao and GM Li  finish in a draw under a  hour.

Here is the comments made in the live blog.....

"The Li Chao game is following the game Ftacnik - Bu from the 2006 Turin Olympiad which ended in a 34 move draw"

"Li Chao and Jun Zhao are still following that game which ended with an opposite colour bishop ending which they did not play. Are they just going to play the same game and then agree to a draw?" 

"SO Li Chao and Zhao Jun found a slightly different way to get to the opposite coloured bishop draw."

rules about draw:

Short Draws on top 10 boards: For games on any of the top 10 boards each day, agreed draws under 30 moves are banned. This ban includes tacit advance agreements to draw (i.e. deliberate repetitions) and pre-arranged draw agreements. The aim of this rule is to encourage a competitive, fighting tournament, and we trust all players will adhere to this in a sportsmanlike manner. Genuine draws by repetition are allowed. Penalties: For infringements of this rule, the following prize money penalties will be applied to both players: 1st offence, a deduction of 50% of any prize money won; 2nd offence, a deduction of 100% of any prize money won.
