Alexander Grischuk, the Russian grandmaster celebrated as one of the world’s finest blitz players and a constant source of creative ideas, faces living legend Viswanathan Anand — five-time World Champion and a true pioneer of rapid chess. By 2019, both veterans of the elite circuit are still performing at the highest level. The Caro-Kann Defence, a favourite of solid and resourceful players, sets the stage for a battle between two grandmasters with very distinct styles.
