Dubov - Nepo "THE DANCE OF KNIGHTS"

GM Daniil Dubov and  GM Ian Nepomniachtchi faced the round 11 in previous  FIDE WORLD BLITZ CHAMPIONSHIP. They draw on board  because of KNIGHT DANCE MOVES THEY BOTH DID, The arbiter give them not draw (.5-.5) but 0-0 points instead. For the Arbiter its illegal moves and deserved to be punished not with penalty but with 0 points for both players. Lets check how they play THE DANCE OF KNIGHTS. Dubov played as White and Nepo for black:

Its funny right? And it finished in a draw with the same starting position. And because of this, THIS IS THE DECISION OF THE ARBITER REGARDING THE INCIDENT:

Nepo did not object but saying this: "Obviously all the moves were played, and I understood that there's a good chance of being fined in this or that way."

But on the PART OF DUBOV: 

He missed out to be the first place candidate with  Magnus Carlsen  but ended to be the 2nd place of FIDE World Blitz Championship 2023. 

How sad it is right? Well, Duvob is my favorite GM hehe!

There's a lot of dramas happened like "didn't allowed to play because of shoes" and "special treatment to Magnus issues" But I just want to focus on moves and games alone hehe! Hope to see you in our next blog! Spaciba!
