| Ulhumbrus: Instead of 7...e5?! which invites f4!, 7..Ng6 continues to develop, with every promise of a Black advantage. With 12 Nxf7 Grischuk plays in the style of Shirov, making Shirov uncomfortable. When this is done on purpose, it is a classic psychological tactic, employing the opponent's own weapons against him.It probably succeeds often as well. |

| Confuse: Nice attack by Grischuk. Although its probably too late for him to win the tournament (?) hes making a come back. Carlsen might need to slow down a little bit. |

| shintaro go: The position after move 37 just looks funny. Grischuk sacrificed a minor piece for an overwhelming pawnstorm on the queenside, which Shirov in the end couldn't stop. |

At -2 I don't think he's exactly going in the fast lane... |

| suenteus po 147: This is quite a game to play through! Too bad I missed it when it was happening live. It's also a shame that Shirov had to lose to an assault he was used to giving more often than receiving. |

| dabearsrock1010: I like that fat line of pawnsafter the 33rd move...so many squares just totally owned when you have that many pawns on a line |

| Paladin88doug: Why say Tal or Nehtzmedinov lives? Grischuk is an extraordinary and original player who doesn't deserve to be compared to anyone else...I see him play, and I can tell he has his own style. |
