[@honourabledoctoredwinmoria3126]

Grischuk said in an interview about a month ago that he feels he is uncomfortable and slower to spot things on a computer than he is over the board.He said that is true even when he is just at home studying a line or messing around with an engine. When you play at that high a level, split-second pattern recognition is key, and if he feels less comfortable with the interface or the 2d view, it might impede him a tiny amount. Or it could just be Grischuk being Grischuk and messing with us all.

[@wilms2328]

On the one hand blitz games like these lead to exciting situations, but it's also a shame that the players can't play to their maximum potential. Magnus and his galaxy brain work at such lightning speed that he sees things in rapid chess that others can't in the same timeframe, which allowed him to retain his World Championship title by forcing the game to the rapid section. He's of course well in his rights to do this, but it's just sad to see a great player like Grischuk lose due to time pressure. There's a lot to be said about time formats in chess: classical definitely leads to a lot of draws and snoozefests. I wonder if such a thing as "an ideal time format" even exists.

[@MegaTenser]

You wouldn't be able to take the passed pawn because of back rank checkmate. I think you'll have to give up the a pawn first, and then black will have two connected passed pawns and the bishop for a rook.

[@simonatoshvili4427]

I have some questions. 1. Was it just Carlsen's good will that he agreed to the draw or there was an increment? Meaning that if Grishchuk was very very low on time he could lose by flagging theoretically. 2. The second question is a general one. When you have for example a different move on the 15th one, but after 2 moves you get the same position so basically only the order is changed, is it considered as a completely new game?

[@rg7535]
