        That’s awful – Grischuk totally outplayed his opponent and then lost this way. Feel sorry for him. And is there any chance to block these stupid posts from Lionel Davis?!

        I guess anything can happen when you don’t have much time to think, but, yes, that was a helpmate by Grischuk. As I played through it, I kept thinking that the score just had to wrong.
