That didn't seem so bad. You can see with how much he was toppling pieces that he was having trouble with nerves, which would make the situation all the more frustrating. When players have an increment to play with rules should be decisive on "loss on time is a loss, doesn't matter the position". But here we have some edgecase which settles on some crazy sequence for black to ever win (if white didn't have pawns, the game would've been declared a draw) Basically have some empathy, losing is rough & in a tournament most players are losing, for all we know he just needed to sleep on it & came around the next day

Time out is a draw if the opponent doesn't have the material to mate.

  Because it’s literally a child playing at a global level? How many of us could handle that kind of pressure at his age?

    he's 16, a child is defined as somebody before puberty. stop infantilising others.

      You're the one coming across as an infant here.

  That’s a reason for the sympathy.

  That'd be ideal, but you only control yourself. Empathisizing with someone doesn't mean you have to agree with them. It just means you don't need to call them out on it months later on a random HN thread when they've come around with a nice result. Maybe it'd be relevant if this article was about another argument with event moderators
