Radjabov seems to have agreed a draw which seems a touch premature.

Presumably this means both MVL and TR miss out?

MVL not qualifying will mean people still whinging over Kramnik too

He had a chance today and he blew it; I'm sorry, as I'd like to have seen him qualifyMatt Mackenzie wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 5:26 pmMVL not qualifying will mean people still whinging over Kramnik too
Well done to Shak and Grischuk though

To be blunt he should have played better across the whole tournament, his general performance was oddly lacklustre.

I agree, he didn't really play with any great confidence.

I was hoping MVL would qualify, but pleased Shak made it.
I'm slightly concerned Grischuk qualifying will distract Peter Svidler from the more important job of commentating

Re: Grand-Prix 2017 Events Venues and Dates confirmed
I was just wondering, has Radjabov himself given any explanation of his decision to offer a draw in the last round?
