I cant imagine how stronger a prime Grischuk would be if he took things more seriously. A World Championship between him and Carlsen would have been pretty epic

[@khann2159]

Grischuk is a genius but he doesnt take chess seriously, even more now that he is in the end of his carreer .Even so, look at his results... just amazing.

[@sorrowoo]

why do you think he's not taking it seriously lol

@@sorrowoo Even if, does it matter? If winning was everything then I’m sure he would but he does it because he enjoys it.

[@euphoria2837]

It's not about taking it seriously that's just his limit

[@kylewit]

That race of pawns that had both rooks tied up and Grischuk's king racing to help out was brilliant (as well as how Carlsen managed to swoop his rook around the back of Grischuk's pawn on his end without losing his position at the other end). It is amazing that Grischuk managed to resolve that pickle and come out winning by one pawn to manage for the tie

[@canerdem6273]

Grischuk is one of a kind both as a player and as a humanbeing. I hope to see him in the future tournaments aswell.

[@longcastle4863]

Am a big Magnus fan. But it's great to see Grischuk having a great tournament so far. One of my favorite chess players. And one of the coolest guys in chess.

Indeed most players would be lost after that, but he created so much counter play driving his pawns down the board. What a great game!

[@AlexEMF]

This is literally the first game I saw Magnus Carlsen close to losing . Hats off to Alexander Grischuk.

[@ShadowK0ng]

Wtf are you talking about? Rook and 3 vs Rook and 2 on the kingside is a basic draw. And he was pressing earlier with the bishop pair. Also, I am not as rude as I sound

[@pvdl11]

@@ShadowK0ng Grischuk missed a key move. Check minute 2.35 of this video. Instead of pushing the pawn Grischuk should have first taken the knight with his dark squared bishop and only then push the pawn for a sig. advantage per analysis of computer. Pawn avalanche on the king side after that. They discuss it after the game.

[@aruth3]

It’s not about what you have, it’s about where it is. If you had 10 queens and I had 1 pawn I would beat you still bc I’m smarter.

[@hereforfree100]

There is no way that the pawn can go passed the king, it will end in repetitive checking and if king moves towards Magnus rok he will lose second pawn.. basically it’s draw. Too many combinations to explain here! Clear as mud? 👍

the magician did it again

[@princea2810]

9:22 why magnus sacrificed a bishop when he could have moved it to f6, is it a blunder ??? Please explain

[@sharanyughosh7589]

No, it isn't a blunder! Well, if bishop to f6, then rook to d8 check. If bishop takes rook on d8, then c7 pawn takes bishop on d8 and at the same time will get promoted to queen and Black king will be in check again. The rest is easy - white is a pawn up and has a queen against a black rook. If the other way around, like if the bishop doesn't take rook on d8, then black king being in check, will have to move to h7. Then, c7 pawn promotes to queen on c8 and then, if black rook takes queen on c8, then white rook on d8 takes black rook on c8. Again, white will be a pawn up and will have a rook against a bishop. So, clearly, white would have been at an advantage in either of the scenarios. That's why it was necessary for Magnus to sacrifice the bishop in order to capture the c7 pawn!
