Not even Superman can stop an earthquake

In the end, Wesley So won his 4-game semi-final rapid chess match against Jan-Krzysztof Duda, but what a heartbreak it was for him after losing the first game due to an inexplicable, unimaginable and kryptonitic Queen’s harakiri at move 17! We cannot provide any account details about his “black hole”, and at best, we can only guess that something out of place in his Superman costume made some of his fans exceedingly upset and angry at him.
