GM Pranav V (2598) needed to a backward move 40.Bd4 Qc1+ 41.Kh2 f6 42.Bxf6 gxf6 43.Qd7+ Kg6 44.Qg4+ would be one of the better ways to continue. Instead, 40.Qf5+?? Kg8 41.Qd7 Qa1+ 42.Kh2 Qe5+ 43.Kg1 e2 44.Qd8+ Kh7 45.Qd3+ f5 and it's over for White. This win allowed GM Shamsiddin Vokhidov (UZB, 2643) to gain sole lead 6/7.
