Another Painful Loss for Nepomniachtchi

It’s getting hard to watch. A clearly out-of-sorts GM Ian Nepomniachtchi lost his second consecutive game at the 2021 FIDE World Championship, effectively trapping his own bishop on the 27th move. After GM Magnus Carlsen made the correct response, he was left alone at the board for nearly 20 minutes while Nepomniachtchi gathered himself off-stage, perhaps deciding whether to resign immediately or to futilely struggle on.
