What's amazing is that *both* Magnus and Hikaru missed mate in 1. Two of the strongest blitz players ever.
Hikaru didn't see it, hence his ...h6 move. And Magnus didn't see it either.
Black queen @ h5.

Yeah, I was looking at the position on mobile before the pawn move. Thanks.
I can't find the game now, but yesterday I was looking at the Magnus / Hikaru Titled Tuesday game and I thought Magnus missed a mate in 1? Am I mistaken? If not, it's nice to know such a thing can actually happen!
