Honestly, it was like having a microsleep after driving for so many hours nonstop. Claudia didn't even feel tired, but somehow, her consciousness slipped for just thirty seconds, making a move like an instinct, and the next moment, she realized what she had just done; the disaster was already on her side.
She had done so well since the beginning of the game, defending her territory with her life for more than 3 hours non-stop. However, one slip in the 68th move was enough to destroy everything, as she basically just gave Bu Xiangzhi a way to sneak his pawn into her territory.
The mistake itself was not that obvious. It was so subtle that the man had to think carefully for a second. However, the Chinese GM figured out a mistake was on the board even before he realized what it was. The instinct honed over more than 20 years of playing definitely didn't disappoint him, as he found the correct move to capitalize on the situation.
