Another very instructive video! I like the way GM Shankland clearly explains the reasons for the moves. Certainly one of the best if not THE BEST in the business at doing this.

You'll have to wait until the end of this video lecture to find out specifically, but for starters, they both know how to win in "must win" situations! Check out Shanky's review of the final game of the 2004 World Championship Match between Kramnik and Leko...

Shankland
Sam learned chess at age 11 from a Berkeley Chess School program. Within four years, he had become a national master, and two years later, he became an International Master when he tied for first in the world u-18 championship, a result unmatched in the last decade of international play by American players. At 20, he has already played in several U.S. Championships, placing 3rd in 2011.
