Giri, A. – Carlsen, M.

Anish Giri, the Dutch grandmaster famous for his near-unbreakable defensive precision, goes head-to-head with the legendary Magnus Carlsen — World Champion from 2013 to 2023 and the all-time ELO rating record holder. Giri was once famously ribbed for drawing all 14 games at the 2016 Candidates Tournament, but he has long since proven he can play for the win. In a Queen’s Gambit, a battleground both players know intimately, this game is a pure clash of positional intelligence.
