Enjoy The Rest Day: FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss Round 6!

The rest day is in full swing after Round 6 at the FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss, but those who follow my blog get to read the analysis and watch the videos even before they premiere on the live broadcast!

This round, honestly, had my three favorite games to analyze to date for our Missed On the Isle segments. Hikaru's win was fun, and a good sign for his fans, Jobava's anti-principled approach was properly punished  and Wojtasik gave us a great game! When things can get out of hand, and sacrificing a queen is still OK, you know you're in for something fun!

Anyway, enjoy the games and leave a comment below for me if you have anything nice or interesting to say!
