White defended very badly, bla, bla… yawn
Giri’s strategy starting with 19 …Be5, …f5, …Qf6, and doubling rooks is pretty interesting.
I was wondering what I’d play at the 19th move as Black… it looked pretty cramped. A patzer like me would have play …a4.
The killer of course was …f4. The tactical shots …g6 and later …Bxh3 were cool.
Anos 1:34:00 has been posting insulting anti-Giri comments.
Show and explain your posts d.f.
Did you get beat real bad by Giri, we wonder.
Anon 1:34 was predicting the comment he made himself because he read such a comment after game 1 of Giri. Pity one has to explain such, but ok.
