Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Both Morozevich wins over Volokitin in this tourney are incredible games, won by Alexander in his best style. It takes a great opponent to create a chess masterpiece, and Volokitin, being a very strong tactician and a strong GM overall, seems to be a perfect co-author for Moro’s magic.
