He could have won.

The chess player I support most could have defeated his opponent, but he made big mistakes after spending too much time thinking about moves, when the game was going to end, so the situation abruptly turned over and the advantage went from him to his opponent. Then he had to decide on every move very quickly while his opponent still had sufficient time so he had no chance to retrieve the advantage. After losing the game, he leaned back at a loss, watching a staff taking away the desk plates with his and his opponent's names on them.  He rose his head to face the ceiling and pulled his collar to his face, after a while, he leaned forward with his elbows on the desk, shaking his head and twiddling with his small gadget he carried with himself, and he put his head in his hands, scratching his hair, and then he turned his face to the side and shook his head. Finally, he looked at the chess plate, pointed to where his improper moves were, and shook his head again.

I watched the video of him in the game, which reflected that he was so angry with himself that he nearly collapsed but had to accept the fact that he was eliminated. This game is aimed at young players and it will be his last time to participate in it next year according to the rules of it. He is in grade 11 now and he is going to be 17 at the end of this month. I suppress my desire to send private messages to him to convey my concern because I am afraid that it will make him feel worse.
