me too. Although if I'd known he was going to play a modern benoni I would have said something else. I think that counts as getting hit by Anand's long term second in the 3. f3 anti-Grunfeld/ Samisch move order which Anand helped make popular a few years ago.
I think Mike Truran was the world's leading theoretical expert on this line in the 90s, but possible Wojtaszek has overtaken him.

The other game is interesting; looking like Grischuk may win although he's behind on the clock as usual
EDIT; Grischuk wins to reach the final

Alexander Grischuk defeated Hikaru Nakamura with the white pieces and is the first finalist of the Moscow Grand Prix.
Grischuk was better out of the opening and kept increasing the pressure until Nakamura blundered away the game.
