Go Moro!
oh yeah, Grischuk in time trouble by move 16… now he is losing, should have played 20… qd3! it’s time to resign already (on move 26!)…. but anyway, excellent play by Morozevich, he and Judit are most fun to watch! Svidler is losing too, now Moro should win the championship
Make that 5 straight wins!
