Grischuk - Petrosian | Exchange sacrifice | Modern defense

PLayers quickly transpose 1.Nf3 to Modern defense. Grischuk is not playing a principled line, but uses a bit tricky move order. Mos interesting is 10.ed, when white fixes pawn structure but is anead in development. The next decision by Grischuk to take dxc is also interseting, white. Petrosian is a bit lost there cause even though his pieces are active and he has some space for his pieces, still, Black lacks coordination. Petrosian tries to turn the tables with an exchange sacrifice.

Blitz chess (also known as speed or fast chess) is a type of chess in which each player is given less time to consider their moves than normal tournament time controls allow. Openings, tactics and strategy are same.
The flexibility and toughness of the Modern Defense has provoked some very aggressive responses by White, including the crudely named Monkey's Bum, a typical sequence being 1.e4 g6 2.Bc4 Bg7 3.Qf3. (A more refined version is the Monkey's Bum Deferred, where White plays Bc4 and Qf3 only after developing his queen's knight.)
Other unusual openings can be reached after 1.e4 g6. The Hippopotamus Defence is one such system. Another is the Norwegian Defence (also known as the North Sea Defence) which begins 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Nf6 3.e5 Nh5. (If White plays 4.g4, Black retreats the knight with 4...Ng7. On 4.Be2, Black can retreat the knight or gambit a pawn with 4...d6!? If White plays 3.Nc3 instead of 3.e5, Black can transpose to the Pirc Defence with 3...d6 or continue in unconventional fashion with 3...d5!?)
Transpositions are possible after 2.c4, for example a Maróczy Bind results after 2...c5 3.Nf3 Bg7 (or Nc6) 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 and the Averbakh system is reached after 2...Bg7 3.d4 d6 4.Nc3. After 2.Nf3, Black can play 2...c5, transposing to the Sicilian Defense, or 2...Bg7. Following 2.Nc3, Black can transpose to a closed Sicilian with 2...c5 or play 2...Bg7.

Sacrifices the exchange for positional compensation, but ends up losing the game because he's an exchange down. Therein lies the risk you take.

What? Petrosian?

[@sextempiric7137]

I tried to google some joung Petrosian out of internet. Didn't work. Come to conclusion that Grischuk used "Petrosian exchange sacrifice" moves. It reminds me of prophesy that Pythia gave to Cesar which goes:' Ibis redibis numquam peribis in bello". It let us to use the commas as we feel.
