When you turn down a draw offer, only to lose on time | Averin vs Srinath | World Rapid 2022

[@ricardo.tecnicodoibge]

Averin is stepping in to replace Hans Niemman as the most controversial player of the month 😂😂😂

That kid is an idiot. Glad he lost this way.

[@aarondavies6823]

He is super competitive and that’s a good thing. This kid is driven. He is not filming himself do TikTok dances all day. I hope people understand that most kids don’t care about ANYTHING like he cares about chess. And kids are emotional and need emotional regulation. I hope he has someone in his life that models the appropriate behaviour. I’m willing to bet he figures it out and this ends up being a major learning experience for him.

[@agustin.santiago.gutierrez]

Amazingly Srinath could have claimed a draw by threefold repetition, but instead it seems that he chose to continue, possibly assuming there was some chance for Averin to make a mistake? At 0:19, 0:41, and 1:05 the exact same position occurs, always white to move. At 1:05 Srinath seems to signal this to Averin, like saying "I can claim draw right now but I will not, I will leave the decision to you and you can claim draw now if you want".

[@The2014engineer]

Averin, you're killing me , Smalls !

[@SmigGames]

I know he's just a kid so he's given extra tolerance for his behavior, but I hope someone on his side teaches him that this wouldn't be acceptable if he were older. Banging pieces angrily distracting other players, leaving the board without resetting all pieces, not shaking hands... I hope this is a learning moment for him.

[@Wibgloria]

You obviously didn’t watch the clip properly, he banged the piece because he realized he was low on time. He then went off on a tantrum because he just threw away a game for nothing when only moments later it could have been a draw. Watch the clip again.

That’s not about disrespect , he just was too disappointed that simply forgot about shaking hands

[@JawBreaker]

If you go frame by frame at 1:35, the kid's button is pushed and still has 1 second left on the clock and it continues to countdown to zero even after it's fully pressed. You can even see his hand moved away from the clock and it's still showing 1 second. Defective clock?

[@canefan17]

There's bound to be ~0.1-0.2 delay between button pressed and clock response.

[@googleaccount-np9mn]

stop making sht up

[@TheBlade1985]

But if you watch it in slow mo you will also notice that when his clock went down to 1 sec he still hadn't touched his bishop...In order to make a move and not lose on time you need to touch the piece at the 2 second mark to be in time not to flag. If you start playing your move at the last second, you always lose.

[@chessandmathguy]

When the clock shows 1 second, it doesn't mean you have 1 second left. It means you have at most 1 second left. It could be any number greater than zero but less than or equal to 1 second. 0

[@kencur9690]

Ah, you went frame by frame in a, what, measly 24 frames per second clip, to determine whether a clock is defective at the one second mark, because that’s all the frames a second holds. What a sleuth you are.

[@tanmaybhatt6980]

If you count ticks during the slow motion, the time he had was likely about 0.4 to 0.5 seconds when he pressed the clock. As clock already transitioned from 2 to 1 second when we he made his move. So even though clock display says 1 he didn't have full 1 second (0.4 to 0.5 seconds) and that's why clock didn't grant increment.

Well we've seen players three times his age do similar stuff; he's just a kid.

[@luisv2206]

The fun thing is that the clock is actually at 1 second when he pressed it 🤣🤣

[@thomasdalton1508]

The clock registered it as a flag, so he must have hit it just after it changed to zero.
