I'll go full out with my prediction - white wins on all three top boards.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.

What happened in the Shaw-Rudd game yesterday - an abrupt finish in a position which looked equal-ish - did I miss something - or was there a phone incident or similar. I see Shaw is paired for today.

I'm looking at the Rd 6 game which supposedly finished 12 Bxg4 0-1

0-1 in 44 moves on LiChess & chess24 so maybe updated since you looked or you were watching on another site.

Shaw's position is very hard to play in practice there, even if the engine says it's equal.

I thought he played fine up until Ra1. That was a strange move.

It was looking like my 3-0 prediction for the white pieces was going fine until just now in harry grieves game - worst part about it is that on twitch the commentators were championing that dumbass Rf1 move without seeming to even consider h4 was the best (and pretty much the only) move for black and now he's looking likely to get swindled.
