Belgrade GP SF 1: Rapport beats MVL

Richard Rapport credited his wife with an idea in the Grünfeld that caught Maxime Vachier-Lagrave off-guard and put the Hungarian no. 1 on the verge of the final. Maxime must now win on Thursday to take their match to tiebreaks. Giri-Andreikin ended in a draw, but only after a thrilling game where Anish Giri missed a huge chance to beat Dmitry Andreikin. A draw was agreed in a position where it still wasn’t clear if Giri’s bishop pair would be sufficient to counter Andreikin’s two rooks.
