New super-GM game in 9.0-0-0 main line
Sorry for the long absence. First I was busy with math preparing for my PhD comprehensive exam (which I fortunately passed), then was away on vacation for a couple weeks. Anyway, I’m intending to get back to work now (with both chess and math), and this game was something I noticed when scanning new games. Grischuk scores a win against sharp opening expert Motylev in Carlsen’s 14…Qc7!? line I’ve recommended. I’ll have another look and update the relevant chapter later when I get the chance. For now, enjoy the game below.
(5299484) Grischuk,Alexander (2760) – Motylev,Alexander (2704) [B76]
