A courageous play by Vachier.
After sacrificing a rook for the initiative in a middlegame, now he converts his advantage into a full point.

Too greedy.
The Serbian GM should not have even thought to kill the a3-pawn, due to the exposed position of his king.

Apparently, White's threat is Rd7, but Alireza ignores it and carries on with threats of his own.
