I was following the tournament from the get-go. Arjun Erigaisi, super GM from India, played 10 days of chess, eight exceptional rounds, secured 6.5 points out of 8, spent 4 hours playing his last game against Abdusattorov. And on equal position with 18 minutes on the clock, ONE MOVE (a shocking blunder) changed everything. Chess is so gut-wrenching, so brutal.

Anyway, shout-outs to the Uzbek Chess Players!
