Yesterday I drew GM Savchenko (2654 elo) in another fighting game. In early middlegame he sacrificed an exchange, I sacrificed a pawn in return on the next move and we got an unclear endgame. Later on I thought I was slightly better, he thought the same about his position 🙂 After the game we analysed and concluded that nobody could achieve more than a draw as the position was closed and I had a terrible pawn structure.
Today I play GM Macieja (2607 elo) who was European champion some years ago.
Yelena, looks like you are have a solid tournament and congratulations on achieving a draw with two strong grandmasters
