This game spoke for itself in a self speaking way. Hans chess spoke non other than for himself. The way Hans left after the game without setting up the pieces spoke for his sportsmanship.
It wasn't a sacrifice..it was a fair deal..

which chessboard is being used here?
10 seconds to find that knight sac .... Impressive AF (if you don't think so, watch the video, then, go back, pause at the rook move ans STILL try to figure it out)
Hans couldn't stop to set the pieces back on the board ?
He is beating hans like unrated.
Knight sac on e4 does appear in many dragon blitz games where white is inaccurate in the opening
When your beads run out of the battery in the middle of a game.
Funny how rook e1 causes eval bar to shift so much! I didn’t see anything obvious there.
that's just the look he gets when the beads go off
What sacrifice! It was a tactic! The thing is that even I was able to see this brewing. 3-4 moves ago there was Nxe4 and Bxb2 leaving c2 weak, so in every move I was counting again to see if the sacrifice is worth it. This is nothing too complicated and a club player can easily see it. The thing is how did Niemann play so badly that he cannot see simple combinations. I've seen him repeatedly missing easy combinations... very strange.
