His opponent Nodirbek Abdusattorov was shocked by this decision and can be seen shaking his head in disbelief as he removed his headphones. They\u2019d drawn their initial two games, with the third being the decider to see who\u2019d progress to the quarter-finals. The misplaced move was just Duda\u2019s fifth of the game.<\/p>\n

Rather than physically moving the chess pieces, the Esports World Cup taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is all completed through mouse and keyboard, although the players still sit across from one another.<\/p>\n

Some people on social media questioned why Duda didn\u2019t continue, while others said that the error was so disastrous that there was no coming back from it at this elite level of chess. Others questioned if this would have happened if they were using physical pieces rather than a mouse and keyboard.<\/p>\n

Duda still took home $65,000 for his efforts<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite this mistake, Duda still took home $65,000 for his efforts. Remarking on the misclick, he said he won\u2019t forget it for the rest of his life, stoically saying: \u201cIt was a very unfortunate moment. It was fatal. What to do \u2014 it is a part of online chess. It happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
