Controversy over Uzbekistan chess tournament

Indian player Vantika Agrawal's draw at the President's Cup chess tournament in Uzbekistan has sparked controversy after a bizarre rule turned into a loss.
A draw against Uzbekistan's Muhammadzohid Suyarov sparked controversy, with the draw turning into a loss due to a bizarre rule. Vantika Agrawal took to social media to express her displeasure over the draw and the loss due to the referee's mistake.
"I want to ask why FIDE has come up with such a rule. If it's the referee's fault, why should I be the victim? I spent a lot of money to participate in this tournament," said Vantika Agrawal.
