I'm glad that this has helped :D just remember to make sure that you can squeeze your opponent our of the game to win! But if you settle for a draw, still consider it a win (although Mikhail Tal won't approve, but I mean, are we Mikhail Tal?). Enjoy your games!!!

There are quick finishes even in the exchange or delayed exchange variations.

From what I see, the first game had Liren to resign since Giri was already going to force eventual checkmate (especially after 23. Ne4!! ignoring the threat on the bishop). The last two games, it seems, was just resignation out of material inferiority and a terrible position (to begin with). If I were to pick a game to use for the blog, I would pick the game between Ding Liren and Anish Giri.

Advantage is high but your opponent won't follow the script:
