Game over! He takes and— oh, he blundered! No, he's, he's claiming. Leon's claiming because he did not complete the move, but he had 1 second. Abhimanyu Mishra had 1 second on the clock, and without putting the queen on the right square so he doesn't get flagged, Sagar, he pressed the clock and Leon stops it. Look at the scoreboard on top. Nine to eight. If he gets the move in in those three seconds, three seconds.
Now you're giving three seconds to him. You should give him one second.
One second. One second. Okay. How is he gonna make a move in one second? Now you can't do that. He's getting ready. Let's just watch this. Off the board action. And he gets flagged. And he gets flagged. Of course he gets flagged.
Leon wins. Leon wins.
Insane is the word. Insane, guys.
