Going in the last round of the Chennai 2018, Ivan Rozum was leading the tournament with a margin of one point. All he needed was a draw to become the champion. However, he was facing the creative attacker Timur Gareyev.

Timur played as aggressively as he could hurling his pieces towards the black king. Ivan defended admirably making the best moves in the position. Just when it seemed that the attack had vanished and Rozum had excellent chances to hold a draw, the Russian blundered and Gareyev took the full point. It was a sad end for Ivan, but this game is a gem where you learn the art of attack and defence in chess.
