Soham Datar rated 2032 lost a pawn in the opening against GM Adam Tukhayev. Apart from being outrated by nearly 550 Elo points, Soham was also in a bad position. However, he did not give up. Grandmasters are strong but they are not Gods! He fought back with all his might and drew against the Ukrainian GM. In fact at some point he was clearly better. This is a good example for everyone to believe in themselves and fight until the very end. An instructive video.
