An Opportunity you get ONCE in your Life! – A. Shirov vs A. Firouzja – FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss

The Grand Swiss is a 11-round Swiss tournaments, meaning players on the same score face each other every round. However, no player faces another player more than once. If two players are tied for first place entering the final round but they played earlier in the tournament, they would each face someone just below them in the standings instead of each other for a second time.

The time control in the Grand Swiss is 100 minutes for the first 40 moves, then 50 minutes for the next 20 moves, and finally 15 minutes for the rest of the game. There is a 30-second increment starting from move 1.

(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. 😵‍💫
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. 😱

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost 😔 after Johann played excellently.

“It will be cheering to know that many people are skillful chess players, though in many instances their brains, in a general way, compare unfavorably with the cognitive faculties of a rabbit.”
