11:11 in the final position, I see the mate if the king runs from that check, but what's so bad about blocking with the knight? I don't see the death blow there

[@loomania32]

Why was that a blunder at 10 mins?

[@andreacarbonari]

Why have the players put on the head phones?

[@pinetree-4]

I think they’re there to block out sound so the players can concentrate without distractions

[@RETIchess]
