When I first saw today's game, after it was over, and observed that Grischuk drew with White in just 14 moves, I thought "Here we go again: Grischuk is using the same cynical strategy all over again of trying to draw his way to the blitz tiebreak!"

1. St. Louis: There were two draws tonight and not much action, but that's not to say there was lack of effort. In the Nakamura-Ponomariov game, the culprit was the infallible drawing weapon of 2011, the Queen's Gambit Declined.
