Anish is top 5 or so. I hate his style, though. He is a defensive hedgehog of a player. He just rolls into a tight chestnut of a position and hopes his opponent makes a mistake."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Giri has a very solid, conservative style. This makes him very hard to beat, but also leads to him not translating his chances into wins.[22] His infamous streak of 14 draws at the 2016 Candidates Tournament is illustrative, and led to him being the butt of many jokes, such as a Chess24.com April Fool's piece about Giri writing a book entitled My 60 Memorable Draws (a play on Bobby Fischer's My 60 Memorable Games).[23][24] Nonetheless his peers acknowledge his strengths as a player, with Grandmaster Arkadij Naiditsch opining that beating world champion Magnus Carlsen is easier than beating Giri.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I would have liked to see Sam Shankland do some commentary with Giri. Sam is well-spoken and Giri famously threw shade at Shankland a while back. Called him the "weak link" for the Americans in a recent Olympiad."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln

Interestingly enough, Fabi had to beat Sasha in the final round of the Candidates to advance -- well, to be certain he'd advance. And he did, playing black.
