๐Ÿ”ธ0-1
66.Kf1?
Nepomniachtchi made a blunder which cost him the game.
He could have obtained equality through the following continuation:
66.Ke1= Nxd3+ (66...Bxf5 67.Bxf5 Rxc4 68.Re7+ Kxd5 69.g5= with the idea of g6) 67.Kd2 Rxc4 68.Kxd3 Rxg4 69.Rxd7 Kxf5 70.Rxd6=
66...Rc1+โ€“+
Black wins the bishop with check.
