[@GRENKEChess]

wise words

[@BentHestad]

Good old Shirov! Shamelessly treated by parts of the chessworld (swindle by Kasparov), but still kicking. Nice to see. Thanks! Vielen Dank, Grenke.

[@GRENKEChess]

You are welcome!

[@PaulMorphy-n1f]

Shirov🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GRENKEChess]

fire on board!

[@Wendy-js7xq]

Qa6... "what a fucking genius" :)))

[@GRENKEChess]

Shirov is a Legend

[@chessaudiobooks3079]

trouble right from the opening.. f4 was really annoying for black.... Bxc3 and Bxf3 to win doubled c pawn was bad plan.no development and black fall under strong attack

[@nedstark5895]

Exactly

[@boredash4020]

i was wondering the same thing ? why would black chase a pawn with a king in the center and an open e file?

[@berightback5479]

Black should castle and then focus on attacking whites weak pawns, but great game by Shirov

[@kunaljadhav4492]

Knight to C6 was possible .

[@PaulMorphy-n1f]

Black😂😂😂😂

[@GRENKEChess]

:)

[@timhart2412]

Mit dem voreiligen Bauerngewinn hat IM Löffler ein zu hohes Risiko eingegangen und verdient verloren.

[@GRENKEChess]

Da wo das Risiko ist, ist auch gleichzeitig die größte Chance

[@blackzebra96]

easy...
