"It was the final match of the day, and the cliffhanger of cliffhangers. After tying their standard and rapid games, Nakamura and Nepomniachtchi each survived must-win situations to push the match to sudden death. After a dramatic game, the American prevailed and it was all over. Or was it? To the astonishment of all, the Russian filed an appeal demanding the result be nullified."

Nepo should wear a bib and stop whining. When you're looking for a technicality to win then you are already in big trouble. Technicalities are not going to make you World Champion.

The error of Nakamura does not lose the game, I think that the solution is another.
Here we have another error of Karpov, and the face of his opponent looking to the referee...
