So Amazing Sam!I loved it! I can only dream of having such tactics like this and espicially executing them!Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@emmahird2795]

this has got to be the most complicated endgame I've ever seen. the endgame tactics are insane and it kinda staggers me. this has got to be one of my favourite games.

Excellent analysis of an old favorite. Although, to be fair, the Grunfeld is tailor-made for brilliancies (Fischer had 2 of them before he turned 21.) In many variations, Black is goaded into giving up material because he gains so much damn real estate for his black-squared bishop. Plus, a die-hard Grunfeld player becomes so familiar with all the patterns of the opening -- as Shirov demonstrates.
