      Agree, it showed all the different ways that you can win a match and how you can’t rely on just getting up in one way and riding it out.
      Seemed like a win by checkmate, then the blunder, maybe a win in boxing, maybe a win by chess timeout, maybe a win by checkmate. It was all over the place and really exciting.
      Also showed how the boxing rounds and time pressure of chess all come together to create the ultimate stressful chess match
