  Peligroso Patzer: 58.Bd5?? was quite a howler by Grischuk in (presumed) time pressure. He usually does quite well blitzing out moves in the time pressure he chronically gets himself into, but this time he gave away a full point with one bad oversight.

Apparently the way for White to continue here would have been 58. Bh5, for example: <58.Bh5 Bxh5 59.Rxe6>

[... but here definitely not 59.Kxh5??, after which Black wins with 59. ... Nxf4+! (Black would give away a half point with 59...Qxg3? 60.Qb7+ Kg8 61.Qc8+ Kg7=) 60.Kh4 (a faster way to lose would be: 60.gxf4 Qh3#) 60...Nxe2–+ ...]

<59...Qc2 60.Re7+> (after 60.Qb7+ Kg6 61.Qh1 Black should hold easily.) <60...Bf7 61.Kh3±> and White retains good winning chances.

Aug-04-19  Helloween: This was a great struggle and tenacious effort by Black.
