A late blunder from Arjun means that there is a play-off between Nodirbek & Nodirbek!
Which was won by Nodirbek.......Yakubboev.

It was bad blunder (as opposed to a plausible blunder)

N. Abdusattorov - A. Erigaisi. Qatar 2023

Black can play for giving up the Rook for the LSB because the DSB does not control a8. Then with a draw Erigaisi is first equal and in a tied break instead of Abdusattorov. Black played 48...Rh4.
