I managed to catch the games live today. Was really rooting for Alan, was an exciting game again with the exchange of rook and minor piece for queen, only for his opponent to repeat the exchange sac later in the game to level the material again. I thought Alan was better throughout.
Thought Graham was good for a draw in that endgame until pawn was moved to d4+. Didn't understand that, just a mistake perhaps, was the losing move.
Much more entertaining anyway than the world championship!
