Shocking Blunder | Rasmus Svane vs Anish Giri | World Rapid 2021

Miracles happen! It's games like these that make you believe in terms like luck, fortune, destiny etc. It happened in round 4 of the World Rapid 2021 between two extremely strong players and something happens which you wouldn't even imagine happening in a game of amateurs! But that's what tiredness can do to you!

ChessBase India strikes again! I mean no one believed that result until this footage was released
And it was captured so elegantly as well: The heavy breathing.. the silence.. the frustration and the relief. Just epic!

[mehdimehdikhani]

Rasmus took it surprisingly well. I would have flipped the table.

[SaeedAcronia]

He died two times inside for every extra pawns he had.

[hst]

Actually no one in the fide chat believed that anish won this one, everyone thought that there was a glitch as the position was not getting updated as well
Haha what a lucky game for anish, Maybe this can be his tournament if luck favors him

[patrikstar]

The way he tooked the knockout shows, what kind of man he is. He maybe did not win the game, but the respect of most chessplayers i guess.
And hopefully he´ll come back stronger.

[Dencyftw]

Anish really slammed the clock after playing his last move

[vigneshsubramanian]

Hats off for recording this footage, many of us had no clue what happened

[puhazhmathimohan]

Those silent 10 second gap between anish slamming the clock and the handshake was really intense.

[Smackarooge]

Indeed a very hard lesson to learn from! 😔 Best of luck on your other games, RASMUS! Tournament's not over till it's over! 🤟 YOU GOT THIS, mate!👌

This is where chess is so brutal sometimes

[MOHAMMEDAhmed-iwru]

I feel for him that wasn't the blunder of the game but for the whole year

[ayanbandyopadhyay]

emotions high and all sorts of things but what a heartfelt shake of hands by rasmus, elegant man

[Simon-xitb]

I'm not into chess at all and I felt that pain inside mr. Rasmus. Chess is his life and the pain had to be like close to losing a dog or something..

[martinpaddle]

It's quite hard to convert these types of endgames. In the position in which Svane blundered Kh5, the only winning move would have been Qa7+, pushing the black king temporarily to the back (he had more chances earlier on, but as pointed out elsewhere, it's not trivial)

[samroberts]

That's the element right there which you cannot see in online chess. It is running a marathon on a treadmill vs seeing Kipchoge break the 2 hour mark on live streets.

[FreyFahren]

What a great game from Rasmus with an unlucky end. Congratulation for both players and greetings from lake chiemsee in Germany 🚗🦣🏍🎄

[pappont]

after watching this video, I will support Rasmus in future tournaments (although I'm Russian). I really feel strong empathy to this guy

[jibiteshsaha]

2:40
Caruana was right about anish's expressions 😂😂

[lolololololololol]

This should definitely going in the next edition of Van Perlo's Endgame Tactics

[Kgwm]

Rasmus looked really calm even though he must be kicking himself. I think I would have banged my head on the table like there is no tomorrow….
