Mar-20-20 Grischuk vs H Wang, 2020

pdvossen: Alexander could have won every match with better time management. I love his gutsy play and such, its just tough to watch him struggle with time. He could be a beast in a match with Magnus. |

Jan-24-20 Duda vs Carlsen, 2020 
|
pdvossen: It is even if the computer is to be believed. I do like how Magnus has his rooks on the back rank. Yet, Duda has those Knights in an agressive fashion. |
