It was played first by Grischuk on the top level, and the Russian GM crushed him in a Titled Tuesday game. Caruana then checked the line and decided that it was worth playing. He liked the rising positions and despite the risk enjoys applying the line. Last year it was also played in a match for the world championship. 5... b4c3  6. b2c3  6... c7c5  7. f1d3  7... b8c6  8. a1b1 \"The opening choice was good. He looked quite surprised after this move.\" (Caruana)
