I know. Today. Place your bets now.

Gujrathi (2726) has a better rating than Adhiban (2660) and that's well 66 points above Adhiban. But if you look at their head to head for standard games, they've played 6 and have drawn all. However, there's just 1 blitz between the two which Adhiban won. I'll still place my bet on Gujrathi though because of his higher rating in standard and I don't think it will go down till blitz. Point to note, their ratings in rapid are similar(no previous game between the two yet) so Gujrathi should try to finish it in standard itself.

I can't watch the full game after clicking on the link. It's not going beyond the 1st move.

The game in the comment is working fine but the moves don't match up with the one that you've posted.

You might have to manually move the pieces as per record of moves. My position is with white pieces.

And White resigns. Fischer writes: "A bitter disappointment. I’d hoped for 22.Qf2 Qh3+ 23.Kg1 Re1+!! 24.Rxe1 Bxd4 with mate to follow shortly."
Sadist! Fischer not happy that his opponent refuses to get himself checkmated

This was the game I rhapsodied with you when we having lunch a few days ago. The GM commentators kibbutzing all decided Bobby on his first loss and to their shock, Robert inexplicably shook hands and resigned
