I had seen this one, too, on Chessbomb. Grischuk won with Ng3:
1. …..Ng3
2. fg3 Rf5
Here, Grischuk didn’t play (I hesitate to say “missed” since he may well have had reasons to just take the exchange win) the somewhat stronger and more decisive Qg3: [2. …Qg3 3.Qc4 Rf5 4.Kg1 (or 4.Bf3 Rf3 5.gf3 Qf3 6.Kg1 Rd2) 4. …Qf2 5.Kh2 Rf4 and black will gain a queen for a rook and knight]. However, Grischuk made quick, clean work of the rest:
3. Kg1 Qe1
4. Kh2 Qa5
5. Qc4 Qc5
6. Qb3 Rf2
7. Bf3 Qc2
8. Qb6 Rf8
9. Be4 Qa2 and Navarra resigned in another 12 moves as black advanced some king side pawns on the white king’s fortress.
and Navarra eventually resigned about 15 moves later as Grischuk consolidated his position and pushed in on the white king.
