Grünfeld Defence D92
“Poco después concluyó el duelo de Eljanov ante Nepomniachtchi. El ucraniano llevó figuras claras y afrontó la defensa Grünfeld planteada por su oponente. En la jugada 20 ganó el peón de d5 y el resto no fue complicado, sobre todo después de pasar el peón por la columna ‘c’. En el movimiento 35, el ruso inclinó su rey”, Miguel Ernesto Gómez Masjuán wrote in his Mi Columna Deportiva.
