Unfortunately, unlike Sheva, who managed to pull a miracle out of nowhere, Claudia and Irene didn't have the same luck in their game. Although they tried so hard to defend their position, in the end, they got overwhelmed by the more talented player in front of them.
In Claudia's case, although she managed to hold Mishra Abhimanyu back for more than twenty moves, her nervous system really betrayed her in the crucial moment. She tilted, and unlike Mads Andersen, the young American grandmaster had a keen eye to notice that immediately, and without giving any mercy, he struck where it would hurt her the most.
She tried so hard to defend her position, but Mishra really pushed her to the edge of the cliff. He overwhelmed the girl on the kingside, forcing all of her pieces to go to the eighth rank just to escape from the relentless pursuit of Mishra's pieces.
