2011 FIDE Candidates Final match Grischuk-Gelfand games 2 and 3 drawn

The second and third  games of the match were drawn. The players now have a rest day on Sunday and resume the match on Monday with game 4. In the fourth game on Monday, GM Gelfand will have the advantage of the White pieces. I do not understand why GM Grischuk would agree to a draw in only 14 moves with the white pieces in game 3! Here are the moves from games three and four:
