Until the 54th move the game was a sure draw! Then everything changed. 55th move was made in a hurry? With only 10 minutes on the clock (Gukesh had 1 hour ) Liren made the 55th move in 15 seconds. That was too fast ! And when he says ' it takes some time to realize the mistake!" what can we say. Even for a world champion concentration can be lost momentarily? ROOK exchange at this stage was unthinkable when your opponent had 1 pawn advantage! And to make it worse Liren's BISHOP was cornered. Even an amateur like me could easily see the blunder and the endgame! But Liren was cool in admitting the defeat and one has to appreciate him when he says "No Regrets!" . The players respected each other and the whole thing was a gentlemen's final! Gukesh made history! History for Chess history for India! Now there will be more players from India at the topmost level!
