Rook Blunder!! | FM Nelson Villanueva vs IM Pavel Shkapenko | Penang Blitz 2023

A topsy turvy game between two blitz specialists. Just as one side seems to be outplaying the other, disaster strikes!

How do we overcome the pain of being punished for blundering? It’s hard - imagine in life you have to go through it. Really respect these chess players/sportsmen for their perseverance 👍👍👍

Nelson should be banned. Dirty chess.
