Anish Giri, the Dutch-Russian grandmaster famous for his rock-solid play and sharp wit on social media, was long teased for his high draw rate at the elite level — a running joke he cheerfully embraced himself. In 2022, Magnus Carlsen, ever hungry for a win even from balanced positions, sets him a challenge in the English Opening, a flexible system that often gives rise to long, grinding strategic battles.
