It’s incredible that MVL went through that insane middle game to reach the end game a pawn up.

There was plenty of ways where black could slip. And then they would be checkmated or a piece down, instead of a pawn.

Reminds me of Tal or Rashid, insane combinations *only* to get into a winning endgame, but that's just how chess at higher levels work, you can't expect 2600 elo people to not spot a mate or lose material (well maybe in faster time controls you can but still)

Wesley got the win, Ian flagged, the video doesn't leave any room for ambiguity, the only thing is that Wesley noticed it after a couple of moves, when he was in a completely losing position. I think Ian messed with Wesley by knocking down a piece on Wesley's time on the second day of blitz, but it wasn't in a time trouble situation, and it seemed to be mostly in good spirit between the two.
