skytte employs an unusual gambit in the italian opening

High-quality play by both sides, resulting in a dynamically equal middlegame. White has ample compensation for the sacrificed pawn, with a pair of bishops and with a certain clumsiness in Black's pieces placement.

!!GREAT MOVE!!

White sacrifices a bishop for an attack on the opponent's king, who is caught in the center. Though White's attack should be defendable, the initiative must be unpleasant for Grischuk to face.

grischuk spurns white's offer of a draw through three-fold repetition, and wants to play on!!

Typical fighting spirit by Grischuk, who doesn't want to settle for a draw, even with his king in the center, which is always a dangerous factor.

??BLUNDER??

Short of time, Grischuk blunders in an advantageous position, even though he had a better position.

??BLUNDER??

White misses the opportunity to take advantage of Grischuk's blunder. Instead of the queen move, White had to pose the black king with a check, leading to a mating attack.

??BLUNDER??

With hardly any time on the clock, Grischuk returns the compliments, allowing Skytte to mount a dangerous attack on the black king.

an incredible position!

White is down by a whole rook, but he has a winning advantage, thanks to the black king being caught in the center. Skytte goes on to win the game.
