It looked like Black was holding the draw, because White couldn't really avoid an endgame with opposite-colored bishops. But as it turned out, this version was in fact winning. Anand's win over Grischuk, in today's eighth round, will go straight into a new collection of winning combinations.
White's pawn sacrifice in this attack might not have been fully correct, but that's easily forgotten when you see how the game ended.
Here's the video of vishy64theking 's combination against Alexander Grischuk, who graciously allows checkmate on the board. A pawn up, Grischuk failed to spot a beautiful combination.
The second day of play was remarkably peaceful, with only three out of 15 games ending decisively. Still far from anishgiri best results, but I am trying my best! Keep your trumps for the Candidates. Today was quite similar, with just four decisive games. Hikaru Nakamura started his Sunday with a crushing victory over Vladimir Kramnik , who didn't seem comfortable from the start in this Fianchetto Gruenfeld.
