FIDE Candidates Finals Game 5: another draw








Alexander Grischuk played white did not "turn off" the game in the queen gambit, and after much maneuvering Gelfand found a moment to strike the discharge in the center of the board.  
Tactical battle ensued, which resulted in equal endgame and logical and usual outcome.
