A great fight by both the young Indians. Thanks Josip.

Crazy to see two powerhouses blunder back and forth like this, but everyone cracks under time pressure 😂

[@JohnJohnson-fn2we]

Not really. Stockfish 15 failed on these type of positions. Its about attack and initiative, one skip move and your opponent is winning. And its really hard to find the right move to push forward. Not a step back.

I was watching this game live and the players didn't just repeat the position 3 times, but something like 6 times, as if neither could believe they couldn't have won at some point.
