  An Englishman: Good Evening: All Shankland needed was a nice safe draw. Instead, he sacrifices a pawn in the opening. And he wins a game when the draw would have preserved an impressive 1-point victory. This sort of bloodthirstiness could make him a WC contender some day. Certainly he has placed America's Big Three on notice.
