Game twelve

When Nepo played 34…f5, the move was met with disbelief by grandmasters commenting on the game in live broadcasts and online. 

Ding Liren was also surprised by the move, as he gave Nepomniachtchi a puzzled look

It was clear that Nepo’s nerves had fallen apart. He could not hide his feelings
