Rd. 1 - GM Anish Giri vs. GM Alexander Grischuk

Written and  annotated by GM Alejandro Ramirez.
 

Suddenly, three games finished almost at the same time. First of the three, Giri finished off Grischuk with a nice novelty from a blitz game played some time ago. Grischuk was caught off guard. He got low on time and his position collapsed. A clean victory for the Dutch.
