I might be wrong, but I strongly believe that after three of the most talented young chess prodigies from India( GM Praggnanandhaa,
GM Nihal Sarin, and GM Gukesh D failed to break GM Karjakin record, the opportunity came from the American born, but India descendant
or parents, and to me it seems obvious that a GM like Leon would not have missed a simple winning opportunity like moving the pawn to b4,
but instead he chose to placed his King in e5 allowing the Knight sacrifice, and even after Nf3+ GM Leon could still save the draw by
playing Kf6, but again he chose to take the Knight with the pawn to allow him to become the youngest GM ever which will ensure a pawn
promotion and the victory of the American born but from India origin will break the record of GM Karjakin, and could not waste this
great opportunity. https://chessbase.in/news/Abhimanyu-Mis ... y-of-chess
The people from Indian planned to have the youngest GM
