Thanks for another great event, always love coming to Zagreb! Going 9/9 yesterday felt very special, and 6/9 today was also nice

Qe7 instead would have lead to an equal position, and most likely would have won us the match. One reason I took the rook is that in almost 20 years of playing Levon I've learned to take a skeptical look at his sacrifices, but I've got to admit this one was sound :)

Moment of chess blindness here! Short of time I calculated Bd5 Nd5 Ne4 Re8 Nd6+ Kc7 Ne8+ Kb6 c4! Nc3+ Ka1 Ne2 Re2, and thought I was doing well. As I made the move I realised Ne4 Nc3+ Nc3 dc3 was just mate. twitter.com/chess24com/sta…

Here Carlsen blundered with 27.Bxd5?? and after 27...Nxd5 it was time to resign, while 27...Qe7! would even have given White a slight advantage! chess24.com/en/watch/live- #GlobalChessLeague
