  DaltriDiluvi: In their time trouble, both players missed a game changing tactic:

(It's after <68...Bf4-e3?>.) White is down a pawn, but he actually has a winning move here.

The game continued <69.Ne5? Bd4 70.Nd3 Be3? 71.Ne5?>, repeating the double blunder - the players made "a double double blunder", so to speak.

Here's a link which shows the winning move:

  tamar: Even stranger both players repeated their blunders with Aronian blitzing out 70…Be3? and Keymer missing 71. Ne1 with exactly the same fork on c2 winning

  tamar: DaltriDiluvi calls it a double double blunder? Are there other examples?
Dec-19-24  FM David H. Levin: Hi, <tamar>. In Alekhine vs Euwe, 1937, the sequence 25...Qe5 through 27. a3 has been characterized by some as a double double blunder.

  tamar: Hello FM David H. Levin Nice example from a world championship match.

Purdy called that one “a gruesome double blunder, twice repeated by both players”

Here as well, you have two extremely gifted tacticians, who may have not suspected a win was possible, because the opponent calmly repeated their blunders with no sign of worry.
