kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYbYYnWLhcqtqrM 1:37:50 the match is played on this shot. Bad choice if you consider the score and the cube x2. you have to play security

[@kennetholesen8345]

Top 3 moves hit on 4. Best play is 10/4* 13/11. 10/4* 9/7 is a 0.008 mistake. So good choice 🙂. Non hit 13/7 9/7 is a 0.020 mistake

slow

[@ismailmeral7905]

Victor did many mistakes to loose match, Falafel did opposite what he says when he do comments on others plays, he is a big mouth, nothing else

[@yansmirnov3780]

50:55 so bad

[@phatpat2588]

Yan Smirnov actually he played it right. Unbelievable. I set it up. The guys a machine

[@phatpat2588]

Yan Smirnov apologies. I had it set up for money. For money victor played it right. Ats, top play is 14/11 14/8 6/3. Also, falafel missed a recube after the play (and of course rolled his best number, 6-2)

[@paulepstein9739]

But surely the money play can't be "so bad" even if it's non-optimal. I mean the score's 6A 8A. I don't know what the PRs are, but the play (through the whole match) seemed excellent by both sides.

[@mackenzieusher8025]

​@@paulepstein9739 Actually, any play that leaves a shot is a blunder. Of course, this was a very difficult play to make with all of the candidates there are, so it is pretty understandable.
