Jun-06-19		chancho: Helpless like a baby in the final position.

Jun-06-19		Xenon Oxide: Alekhine-esque!

Jun-06-19		perfidious: Repeat after me: <All Carlsen plays is safe, non-theoretical, dull rubbish> Oh, yeah, almost forgot: <He isn't as good in tactics as a certain late American IM>, whom I shall not name.

Jun-06-19		Gypsy: This was rather brutal.

Jun-06-19		HeMateMe: Magnus at the top of his game, taking down a super GM. It would seem that black's kingside pawn moves ruined his game, let white break it open. Perhaps not a great idea to let your opponent have two Bishops on an open board, either.

Jun-07-19		utssb: ...Nb6, Qa3 and Na4 was a really weak idea that lost the game. Just brings Black's Q+N away from defense on the Kingside in order to not really threaten the pawn on c3. Unusually bad play from Grischuk.

Jun-07-19		Cactusjuice: So smooth mate

Jun-07-19		Gypsy: <utssb: ...Nb6, Qa3 and Na4 was a really weak idea that lost the game.> Agreed.

Jun-07-19		fabelhaft: Analysis by Svidler, who thinks 15.... Rfd8 may be the bigger mistake than the plan involving Na4: �Grischuk found a very, very nice resource, he played Na4� https://youtu.be/AEQlCmpti3s

Jun-07-19		Nairaboi: Grischuk played passively throughout the match and he was deservingly punished for it.

Jun-08-19		ChessValley: What happens after 22..Bxc3?

Jun-09-19		sneaky pete: After 22.Bxc3 23.Rxc3 .. would give white two very strong Bishops. If 23... Nxc3 24.Bg5 .. click for larger view If 23... Qxc3 24.Qxc3 Nxc3 25.d6 .. click for larger view
