[@theflamingredphoenix]

Well basically both players were making some pretty dumb moves.

[@musiclistener13]

so there were multiple instances of their queens/ winning moves being taken by another piece, first a queen takes queen, next rook pins queen, next black bishop takes queen, and final move was checkmate for white if they didn't move their king but instead took the rook instead. Seeing these moves sometimes you cant help but laugh like he did.
