Still one of the finest matches I have seen in a while.

[@Rapidchess]

Clock glitched but it still showed minus for Kovalenko who got flagged, and zero on Kantans clock didn't mean anything: clock clearly showed who lost on time.

[@hanvroman]

When blacks flags felt at 12.59 white still had 4 seconds, but than the clock showed zero seconds for both.Kantans defended well under timepressure.

[@AnthonyAllGood]

Wow, last thing I expected was black to lose on time loooooolll

[@PatoPat58]

White still had 4 seconds when black's flag is falling. So I hope the results was 1-0. But i dont understand why black did'nt play the obvious ...d5 (suited by Be5) instead ....Rh6.

[@allexo21]

Yes, I didn't understand as well. Probably looked for easy win counting on time pressure of his opponent.

[@buzzclark]

Blacks flag fell first. That was strange. This is the Finest Chess.

[@PatriceStoessel]

start at 1:12

[@neilsalmon5900]

How did white win when both are at 0.00 on the clocks ?? Shouldn't that be a draw ?

[@kondasrivatchav3157]

Neil Salmon y but as shown in the video that black flags first and tge time gliched for the white but still the flag is at the black side so

[@hassadabbass4678]

What did kovalenko say pls? In russian with translation. Im on learning. Spasibo

[@pavelb.7386]

4:06 LOL

[@kevinbelza67]

Kovalenko and the clock are team mates.

[@stephenhogg6154]

Wasn't there an inexplicable clock glitch? Look closely at 13:00.

[@АлександрСергеев-я9ь]

12:59 wipe your eyes)

[@stephenhogg6154]

I don't know what you mean. Why does Black's clock jump to 0 when it isn't his move?

[@stephenhogg6154]

I should have said White's clock jumps to 0 when it is not his turn to move. His clock has not previously reached 0.

[@Grandcapi]

Both flaged at the same time. Look carefully.When white pressed the clock both flags went to zero.

[@drbusay]

No, when black got flagged white's clock jumped to zero. Though he had 4 sec.

[@stephenhogg6154]

Draw. Amazing finish.

[@hassadabbass4678]

Huh? Black lost on time

[@alexandryarovoy3708]

[@gustavomilione1970]

Kantans won

[@imanoltoledosanz3250]

When your oponent flags you must stop the clock

[@aeilers1]

Not with electronic clocks

[@salehinshahriar6762]

nope

[@АлександрСергеев-я9ь]

Коваленко классный шахматист, но ему нужно научиться достойно проигрывать)
