Heartbreaking

The King's Klash youth chess tournament is underway in round two. Round one featured a tragicomedy on one of the top boards. I won't put the children's names here, but many at the event know who they are.

Black to move
Black played 1...Be5, missing the correct sequence. After 2.Rb1, Black still had a chance for equality with 2...Bxd6, but played 2...Qc2. 3.Qe5+ forced queens off the board and White's d-pawn soon promoted.
