Language gambit declined

For anyone interested, here's a rough translation/summary of the conversation between the two players at 9:20 (I can't provide a line by line translation because the audio is a bit unclear, especially when Hong speaks): In the beginning, Yu says there was at least one instance during the game where Hong used one hand to move the pieces and another to punch the clock (which is illegal). He says that when Hong did so, Yu did not complain. Yu then says, "I'm not going to say anything now; we'll see what the arbiter says. I never touched the clock." I can't quite make out Hong's response, but afterwards Yu says, "I didn't do anything; I didn't even touch the clock," and later, "Go talk to the arbiter about this. This is an issue with the clock; what does it have to do with me?" That's when Hong walks away.

This is why i love world rapid and blitz championship so much , these small incidents are so entertaining to watch

Summary for what happened. Hong press the clock way to lightly on time trouble, which made the clock bounce back, (at one point on the video they even demonstrante this happening), and he lost on time. Hong was arguing that it was not his fault, and te arbiter were arguing that it was indeed his fault. I think it was Hong fault, it's unfortunate, but he lost, this is not a malfunction, just an unfortunate event, you need to fully press the button. Feels bad for Yu Yangyi, he was visibly frustrated, and he proceeded to perform poorly after this game.

My best guess is that happened the samething than in Carlsen x Holt. You can see it in the video "Why did Magnus Carlsen apologize to his opponent immediately after the game?" in this same channel.

Yea that might just be what happened (@ 5 min. 30 sec. of the Carlsen apology video). Nice job Sherlock Holmes

What happened at ~5:22 was probably what happened during the game as well. I have played with these clocks (I believe it's still the same version, at least the same brand) before, unfortunately it can bounce back when you press it lightly (more accurately, maybe staccato or leggieramente in musical terms). I had to press it back and actually eneded up gaining more time. I don't think there is a problem with this particular clock though.

These are standard tournament clocks. As a GM, Hong has used these on countless occasions. He screwed up his press and somehow tried to weasel out of the loss by blaming the clock. What a guy...

@tianledeng6179

I don't think he was trying to "weasel out of the loss". Clock bouncing back after you pressed it simply should not happen. He was naturally upset about the problem. Unfortunately, replacing the clocks with better ones is not a feasible option. Overall it was just an unfortunate accident and I agree with the appeal commitee's decision.

He thinks he's IP man or something 🤷‍♂

I agree. Sans video evidence, there is little else an arbiter can do. Liked Pragg's thinking; I wud look for witnesses in nearby boards - but yeah, most people see the game, n not clock. One other thing to consider is the DGT live game viewer, to see what happened. It usually records only movements of pieces on the board. And the "games broadcast" to see if the countdown timer shifted from one player to the other. The 360 camera idea - hmm - are we sure we can zoom into a particular "sector" of the video/freeze. This is critical. We are after all talking about noticing the clock from up above, let's say.

I find it so funny how everyone is gathering around the board. Even Magnus is there lol.

17:05 look at anish and vidit they look like two friends who are interested in gossips. So cute😂

5:22 shows what must have happened. It's just that they can't agree on what that means. The player thinks he was cheated by the clock, the arbiter ("you just did it now") thinks it shows an error by the player.

5:21 it was at this moment he knew....he fked up

when the 2 players talk they seem to be debating over if the clock was misfunctioning and Andrew proposed a rematch and Yu would like to defer to arbiter's decision on whether or not that's needed.

Obviously there is a language barrier for Yu as the complaint is done in English so its hard to fault him for not pressing his case stronger if that's even the case.

Idk why I like ju wenjun's appearance in this case

They tested the clock and and it was completely fine.. If Hong pressed the clock and Yu didn't, then it just simply means that Hong didn't press it down properly. End of story. There was no need for that long delay lol.

this is how these chinese guys fight where as dubo and nepo givng their half points which now might make them lose their potential 1st point and draw in a comedy shows the true bond and how russians really are united

Hong was adamant to continuing playing from the position, but Yu said “if the arbiter says we should play then I play”, and Hong was visibly annoywd

Laughing at how ridiculous the situation is

These incidents are always the best at the rapid and blitz wc

Seems like Anish GIri has joined the Indian Gang

I don't understand how this kind of drama can still happen even though there's like a bajillion cameras everywhere. Surely the simplest solution would be to always record a closeup of the clock and the chessboard to dispel any doubt about what ever happens during a match? It's just weird you have to ask eyewitnesses and deal with players testifying against each other...

They should go back to 3 second increments in the blitz. 2 seconds provokes unpleasant disputes about the clock and about sloppy piece placement. The players are actually good about it, and nobody complains when you get a sequence of bad piece placement, pressing the clock, adjusting the piece while the opponents time is running. But the crazy 2 second scramble really makes it undignified. Online it's more reasonable because you don't have these side effects, but otb it's just a bad idea.

5:20 bro proves himself wrong, by showing exactly what happened. Later confirmed by Arjun!

Show the game video of what happened ?

Andrew seriously trying to blame the clock when he pressed it improperly? Lost all respect for the guy. If you screwed up, you own up to it and not blame an inanimate object to try to weasel out of a loss.

17:17 look at somebody just the way anish looks at vidit 😂

19:37 Well, Anish did get his answer. Hong didn't have to pay the appeal fees after all.

13:14 cameraman is man of culture

really appreciate chessbase india for this video

Not the machine; the operator.

There is something wrong in the appeal because it states in the beginning „with a few MINUTES left“ which should obviously be seconds

Yu wanted to slap the spoiledism out of him.

what's the use of all the cctvs if you cannot play it in slow motion then decide

also this is the obvious difference between a +2700 super grandmaster , winner of many tournaments & someone who has been in the top level of chess for a decade comparing to an unknown & fresh GM.
