RussiaDutch chess player Anish Giri tried to attack successfully, defeating Dinh Lap Nhan in game 11 of the Candidates chess tournament on April 23.
Giri needed to win over Dinh to raise hopes for the championship, and he took the white army to choose the start of Spain, turning Sin. The number one Chinese player chooses to join the far castle, with the goal of winning to get out of the bottom of the table. Dinh took a bit of initiative, but could not foresee White’s runner-up.
Victory over Dinh helped Giri reach 6.5 points after 11 games, only half a point behind the top of Ian Nepomniachtchi’s group. But Giri’s head-to-head stats were inferior to Nepomniachtchi, so if these two players were equal, Nepomniachtchi would be selected for the throne with Magnus Carlsen.
Fabiano Caruana still has a chance to take the first place, after drawing Nepomniachtchi in game 11. The world number two player is 6 points, but his head-to-head stats are equal to Nepomniachtchi.
Although leading after the first phase, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is slipping bravely when falling to fifth with 5.5 points. In game 11, Vachier-Lagrave lost to Alexander Grischuk.
The tournament has three rounds left, and in round 12, Caruana will hold a white army to meet Giri. This game could decide who will compete with Nepomniachtchi. And Nepomniachtchi holding the black army met Vuong Hao, the chess player no longer had a chance to lead. In the other two pairs, Dinh met Grischuk, and Vachier-Lagrave ran into Kirill Alekseenko.
