| amateur05: For the sake of being objective I must add that Aronian has initiated charity events to help the poor and no one can diminish his achievements in the Armenian Olympics team. |

May-18-20 Svidler vs Carlsen, 2020
| |
| amateur05: It wasn't easy to see white's decisive combination that began with 46 Rb8+. Hence the "'natural" move 45...Bxb4. It was still playable after 45...Rc7. |

Mar-20-20 Grischuk vs Wang Hao, 2020
| |
| amateur05: Begins as a Petrov but then transforms into French exchange after 5. d3 Nf6 6. d4 d5. Grischuk played well and had a big advantage until he got into time trouble. He probably missed 34. ... Ne4+! which took the pressure off the isolani on d5. |

| amateur05: The moment Firouzdja smashed his water bottle after losing a recent blitz game to Carlsen is quite revealing. I haven't seen such thirst in other young players and that is unlikely to fizzle out. Of course he needs to improve his game with the black pieces. |
