Who was the woman GM who knocked the piece off the board in anger?

    Hi everyone! I remember seeing a video of a bullet game between two woman GMs. One got frustrated (I think because she blundered), and smacked one of her pieces off the board at the end.

     

    Who was it? Can someone link me to the video?

     

    Thanks!

    It's not because she blundered, it's because her opponent clearly moved on Krush's move. Krush didn't have a chance to press her clock before the opponent had moved and pressed it again, which means that they both played in Krush's time.

    I'd of thought her opponent would lose by default (interference:  moving pieces during Irina's move time).  Your move is not completed until you press your clock.

    I agree with you, but we could argue about this with some people for 10 pages. :D

    Would chessboxing be appropriate in this situation??

    An interesting idea for FIDE and the USCF to consider in the future! Personally, I think it would be great - if rapid and blitz games fail to produce a winner in a tournament, then chessboxing could be used for the tiebreak - just as Armageddon, it is guaranteed to produce a winner, and is much more enjoyable for the spectators! Laughing
