Anish Giri, the Dutch-Russian grandmaster equally famous for his rock-solid play and his razor-sharp wit on social media, takes on Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, the fiery Azerbaijani who loves nothing more than throwing the position into chaos. The Pirc Defence sets the stage for a fascinating clash between Giri’s cool composure and Mamedyarov’s relentless aggression.
