  skybluesky: Quote from The Guardian:
Duda’s round-three win this week against Anish Giri included a combination so exceptionally brilliant that it is already being labelled a 21st century Immortal. Starting at move 28, Duda launched a nine-move (11 moves counting hopeless interpositions) all-checking sequence where he sacrificed first a rook, then his queen, and finally a knight for a forced checkmate. He visualised it all in just a few seconds, and said later: “ I did see it very, very quickly, but you calculate 1000 times to make sure it’s really checkmate, that I don’t blunder anything, because otherwise it would be a disaster, and it’s very, very nice.” https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...

  MissScarlett: Not wishing to rain on Duda's parade, but Rustam Kasimdzhanov on commentary called <28.Rg7+> and the Queen sac. Leko was suitably impressed:
