Playing style
Giri's playstyle has been described as "solid and conservative" in chess terms. This makes him very
difficult to defeat, but also leads to him often losing the chance to convert an advantage into a victory.[57]
Nonetheless his peers acknowledge his strengths as a player, with Grandmaster Arkadij Naiditsch opining
that beating Magnus Carlsen is easier than beating Giri.[58]
Notable games
Giri vs Magnus Carlsen, Tata Steel (2011). Neo-Grünfeld defense: Exchange Variation. Giri wins in 22
moves after Carlsen blundered a piece. Giri was quoted later as saying "Carlsen will probably not lose
like this again in the next ten years".[59][60]

Giri vs Ding Liren, Candidates, Yekaterinburg, Russia (2021). Ruy Lopez. Giri sacrifices a bishop to win
in a deferred-exchange variation Ruy Lopez. Giri moved into second place in the tournament after the

Giri vs Magnus Carlsen, Tata Steel, Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands (2023). Queen's Indian Defense. Giri
picks up his first win against Carlsen in 12 years after capitalizing on blunders Carlsen made throughout

Giri eventually edged Abdusattorov out to win the tournament.[63][64][65]

German.[66] He is married to fellow chess player and international master Sopiko Guramishvili; the
couple were married on 18 July 2015.[67][68] They have two sons and a daughter.[69][70][71] In an
interview during the Candidates Tournament 2020–2021, Giri stated that he no longer possessed Russian
citizenship.[72]

He annotated a number of top games for the popular chess site ChessBase,[73] and has written several
articles, including analyses of his own games for chess magazines, such as New in Chess, 64, and Schach
Magazin 64. He used to be a columnist for the magazine ChessVibes Training. Giri has created three
Chessable courses, featuring the Sicilian Najdorf, Sicilian Dragon and French Defence openings,[74][75]
