FIDE World Cup 2019 1/4 finals ended with a dramatic Armageddon game played between Chinese GM Yu Yangyi and Russian GM Nikita Vitiugov! The start of the game was terrible for Yu Yangyi because while blitzing out moves he lost 2 pawns very quickly and already on move 10 he had a lost position! With only one simple move Vitiugov could win a piece and virtually force his opponent to resign but he started making inaccuracies one after another and not only failed to draw but even lost!
