@VINDYVINDY I am good friends with Alexey Korotylev, he was my first Grandmaster trainer (after my father), we've been to chess camps, played chess tournaments together, and we've played hundreds of training games together.
Brilliant game... i will think about that sac by self from now on. The queen can be so devastating sweeping across the board, and with the G file open, just brilliant!!
Very nice. I didn't see that coming, and I guess neither did he. It was clear you had plenty of threats on the kingside with the fianchetto and the open file. Nice to see that win it.
How did your game against Grischuk go? I'm sorry that the memory might be a little painful, but I'm curious what it's like playing such a strong guy at Blitz. The strongest opponent I've ever faced was an IM.
I missed a win in my game against Grischuk, and went on to lose the game. I showed that position in my blog a few days ago. The trick is not to think of how strong your opponent is, but only think of the position, that helps!
Well done. A very good example of how even at the GM level, sometimes it is best to play the opponent. You knew he wanted to play Nc4, so instead of playing the more accurate f5, you played Bd6. A good lesson! Thank you!
Alexandra, beautiful win! By the way, you always talk about the "ideas" in a position. Not about moves, but concepts. Who tells you the concepts in a position, or how do you figure it out?
if you perceive the board as a logical problem, you will identify certain patterns that can either damage or improve your position. The trick is to identify all the relevant patterns of the position and then choose a move that improves your position in a way that you may gain winning chances in the future. For instance, I can have an "idea" to create a strong passed pawn which would win an eventual endgame for me, but first I have to make it possible. I hope this helps, otherwise send me an IM

Hi! The games were not broadcast live, so I don't believe one can find them online.

I did not know he was going to play Nc4, but I felt it was possible :-)
