Guess the moves: from today’s Palma Grand Prix

Three wonderful games in today’s Grand Prix in Palma de Mallorca.

The game of the day is Aronian’s wonderful attack vs Giri; having a rather lazy Sunday, I logged on to watch the games near the end, and enjoyed playing “guess the move” for the final few moves; not seeing if and how Levon was going to conclude his attack. But he played the last final moves so rapidly that I suspect he had seen the finale long before.

For now, three “guess the moves”:

White to play in Hikaru’s and Levon’s games, and Black to play in the third.

Solutions

These moves each show the incredible wonder of chess, and the equally incredible strength of the world’s top players.
