Great content! Really appreciate the clear clarification provided

[@kimyunmi452]

Based on the logic of your so-called "scientific reaction time" explanation. This would mean anyone playing blitz who knocked over pieces and quickly pressed the clock would be 'forgiven' as a mere 'accident'. Because its blitz so all players would just move any piece and press the clock in less than o.5 seconds. To be fair for your stupid theory..you will need to take sample and median or average time taken by all blitz players from moving their pieces to pressing the clock. And do this sampling in time scramble mode for example when players have less than 10 seconds left. If it turns out the average is around your "reaction time" then why doest FIDE just abolish this rule? You mean fide ignores the science? Also why we still see honest players managed to react by fixing the piece first..even though this cost them to lose on time? Its all about your pre-meditated intention. Harekrishna had a dirty mindset in his mind in the first place..so he is basically set to move n press thr clock as quickly as possible REGARDLESS of whether he knocked over the piece or not..thats why it took 264 milloseconds...its because he already got this dirty mindset. This video fell for the genetic fallacy..failed for chicken and egg problem..by taking the 264 as the given..well it is not..the 264 is the effect..the cause is the earlier 'dirty mindset' that nepo was well aware and angry about.

[@premojha979]

@@backslash8874because not all positions are equal. For example suppose the evaluation of the position is EQUAL to a COMPUTER. BUT the position for black player is very sharp which means in order to remain neutral black must find the ONLY move in order to maintain this equality, on the other hand white could play 5 different moves that are fairly obvious to maintain the equality or push. In this scenario even if White calls the arbiter and say both player gets 5 minutes to think the Black player benefits more because he needs that extra time to find the only move a lot more then the white player needing extra time because he doesn’t need to find just one move.

[@backslash8874]

@@premojha979 You clearly didn't get my comment. I said at that point Nepo was COMPLETELY WINNING when this happened (the position was no way equal) and it's an easy conversion. Plus Nepo has way more time than Hari, so he can easily call the arbiter and Hari won't have anything to benefit from that time because he was completely loosing. It's later Hari was able to equalize the position because Nepo blundered, and he was pissed at Hari for that.

[@backslash8874]

@@premojha979 Just admit, he was just being a cry baby. And that piece falling once for a few millisecond when Nepo has triple the time advantage over Hari, had no-effect in the game or the outcome. He was only frustrated cause he couldn't convert a completely winning position.

[@premojha979]

@@backslash8874 I agree. Nepo’s behaviour was absolutely unacceptable. My point was never made to justify Nepo’s behaviour. I’m not sure why you extrapolated that. Nepo is a well known cry baby this isn’t the first time he has done this. My point obviously was that calling the arbiter is not always a reasonable option (this doesn’t excuse Nepo’s behaviour in any case) and the defense that both players get to think is not reasonable because not both players need to evaluate their moves in the same way. Even if a position is objectively equal according to an engine some of the moves are much harder to find for humans and so practically it’s difficult to hold especially in time trouble. Giving more time in these instances to one player provides significantly better chances for them to not blunder. Once again I am not defending Nepo. I am not advocating for him or his behaviour. He even made a comment about Alireza ruining candidates to Fabi on the last round of candidates by losing to Gukesh in round 13. The dude is a massive manchild.
