Draw agreed, and in half an hour Anish Giri will play Jorden van Foreest in an all-Dutch playoff for the #TataSteelMasters title!
In the end Firouzja only draws to join the tie for 3rd place, though even a win wouldn't have given him a place in the playoff!

Alireza Firouzja having to move during his last game is a terrible way to handle it by the organizers.

Such a shame for #TataSteelChess . The arbiters preparing the completely dutch tie-break, are apparently distracting Alireza Firouzja while heβs not finished his game in a better position for him. Informed he has not s chance for tie-break, Alireza agreed to a draw.
The 2nd playoff game is also drawn, so we're heading to Armageddon to decide the 2021 #TataSteelChess Masters title! https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/tata-steel-masters-2021/15/1/1

My reaction to Anish Giri pawn to c6 π’ β what a heartbreaking game! I was rooting for you almost as hard as Sopiko Guramishvili! So sorry man.
What a dramatic finish to #TataSteelChess...
