| percyblakeney: 65. e5 must be one of Carlsen's worse moves, even if it's blitz... |

| blingice: Yeah, although it would be difficult to break from "I may win this" to "oh no, mate in one" during a blitz game. |

| wintep: This must have been a gesture to the audience because his flag was hanging |

| hellstrafer: <wintep>
That explains. Surely Carlsen would see a mate in one. |

| Nasruddin Hodja: <This must have been a gesture to the audience because his flag was hanging> No. The first thing blitz players are taught is to keep playing your moves and not to move a single facial muscle if your flag falls, just in case your opponent misses it and his flag falls also. Carlsen really did blunder, so he's mortal after all. |

| blingice: <Nasruddin Hodja: The first thing blitz players are taught is to keep playing your moves and not to move a single facial muscle if your flag falls, just in case your opponent misses it and his flag falls also.> Hmm, I wasn't taught that, because I know I watch my opponent's flag like a hawk, and if he/she ever flagged, it would be immediate. |
