Pieces flying in thrilling blitz game

An interesting and dramatic display between International Master Oleg Badmatsyrenov of Russian (but playing under the FIDE flag) and Fide Master Poh Yu Tian of Malaysia played in the Blitz tournament of the Penang Chess Festival, 18th to 24th December 2023. Time control was five minutes per player with no increment after each move. A typical display of quick-thinking chess but in this case, the game descended into utter chaos on the chess board when both players ran into deep time trouble. With the chess pieces flying everywhere and getting knocked down, only the players had any clue which squares they were on. The spectators were none the wiser. Even this video does not help much with reconstructing the last stages of the game. That's blitz chess for you, short and exciting!
