| zev22407: An original game in a known position.white gets a passed pawn on the queenside where black is supose to be strong and win with it. |

| buRnINGbeNd: Wow, it seems black really got steamrolled here. He seems to have no play all game. Maybe 20. ...Qxc6, giving up the exchange for whites strong pawn should have come into consideration, even though black does not have any obvious positional compensation. Any thoughts on that? |

| Saruman: <waddayaplay>19.-Nf4? 20.Bxf4 Rxf4 21.c7! Qe8 (21.-Qc8?? 22.Bh3) 22.Qd5+ Kh8 23.Bh3  |

| backyard pawn: Gris for the mill was run of the mill, and then... Black lost control. He has to use a rook to protect his backward d-pawn, his queen to fend off White's passed pawn, and his knight is mostly out of play, milling about on the rim. White did a beautiful job keeping Black on his heels. |

| kevin86: This is a very good unorthodox game. White's movement and security for the c pawns is fantastic! White,on several occassions decided to push the pawns frather than exchange them;the final move is the coup de grace--an x-ray PROTECTION of c7! |

| dakgootje: That is a VERY nice game by young master Grischuk. the march of the c-pawns ;-) |

| franksp: Well played by Grischuk. Nice finish. I must admit I would have probably taken the Rook at a8 and been content with the exchange. But Lasker once said that, if you see a good move, you should look for a better one and 33 R-c1 is better. It works because of 33...Rxc7 34 Rxc7+. The check is important. It is interesting to note that 33...N-e6 does not hold the gain to the exchange. Nor does 33...Rxc1+ 34 Kxc1 N-e6. White captures the Rook at a8 and pins the Knight to the King after the Knight captures at c7, thus winning the Knight. |

| ajile: I don't like 13..NxN. It gives White a strong spearhead at d5 plus an outpost for the Knight at c6. 13..Nc4 looks better to me. |

| EmperorAtahualpa: Beautiful!!!!! 26.Bc4, I love that move..and so many more moves in this game! Can somebody please explain the pun? Does "gris" stand for "grease"? I'm still not familiar with that expression then, "grease for the mill".. (sorry, I'm not an English native speaker!) |

| Jim Bartle: No, the phrase is "grist for the mill," which sort of means "fuel for the fire" or something like that. Grist is an old-fashioned word meaning ground grain. |

| tuffy13: Gris means grist which is grain to be ground in a mill. |

| GrahamClayton: 22. a5 is a nice move - tying the Black Rook to the protection of the a6 pawn, so that it can't be used to help blockade the White c-pawn with  c8 and c7 |
