Despite being 2 pawns up, it was a Bishop of opposite colours ending and Anh Dung calmly defended despite having less than a minute on the clock (no increment!). In the end, the arbiter stepped in after Nguyen claimed a draw as the players started blitzing moves with the bishops to and fro aimlessly just to keep pace with the clock. A draw was declared with Nguyen having only 20 seconds on the clock vs Hou's 2 minutes plus.
