Grischuk - Duda is interesting. After 24...Qf4 the machine says Black is better, but I would be a bit frightened.

Shankland awaits the winner of MVL v Karjakin; 5 draws now, although the last one was 91 moves

Anish Giri and his wife Sopiko are the commentary team on chess24 today. Good so far. Regrettable I can't stretch my lunch further!

Re: 2021 World Cup
Duda v Carlsen then; if Duda wins, he's in the Candidates, if he loses, he has a 3rd place playoff for a Candidates spot
