Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I thought Grischuk would have won easily.
Rublevsky is a fighter. Nice to see. However, I think it is a safe bet that Grischuk will win the rapid playoff.
I will place my bet on Sergei Rublevsky (I know him and Grischuk in person that’s why).
We’ll see.
It will be all Grishuk from here on.
