| Pyke: Nice finish by Giri in Round 5 against Cuipers, White to play and win. 
click for larger viewQe5 ... hehe, well done Anish. Although one has to admit, that Cuipers was in severe time trouble at the end. |

| Gryz: Giri at the lead at the Dutch championships, in the last round. 1) Giri 5.5 points
2) Ernst 5, but he isn't playing in the last round.
3) Nijboer, Reinderman 4.5 points
Pairings in the last round tomorrow:
Reinderman - Giri
Nijboer - vd Weide
Giri only needs a draw to win the championship. When Reinderman and Nijboer both win, there will be 3 winners. |

| Gryz: Congratulations Anish !
I was a little disappointed how the tournament ended. Theoretically Giri, Reinderman and Nijboer all had a chance to win the championship. Reinderman had to win, playing with white against Giri. I would assume that if someone had a last chance to win a championship, he would fight till the last drop of blood. But not Reinderman, he accepted a 14-move draw with white. Bah. Anyway, that's Reinderman.
Well done by Anish Giri of course. |

And with a national championship at stake, who could blame me? |

| notyetagm: Anyone think that winning the Dutch Championship will get Giri an invite to Corus A in 2010? I would rather see Giri there than Van Wely. |

| Gryz: Notyetagm, you must realize that most of the players from the Dutch top-10 were missing at the Dutch championship this year. So even though winning was a very nice performance by Giri, it doesn't mean he's better than Van Wely, Timman, Stellwagen, Werle, L'Ami, Tiviakov, etc. So I don't think he will replace Van Wely. But if the organizers invite 2 or 3 Dutch players, then yes, he can be one of them. On the other hand, Giri played in the C group last year. So playing in the B group would already be a nice promotion and a nice challenge. The kid is only 15 years old, let him progress gently. Why always rush things ? |

| Edwin M: For the Dutch fans, you can check Giri out on both Holland Sport http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=1011... and Jeugdjournaal http://www.nos.nl/jeugdjournaal/art...(15)naarschool.html |

| Gryz: The sad thing in that Holland Sport interview is that the presenter kept calling Anish, "Ashni". Multiple times. Very embarrassing. |

| Edwin M: <Gryz: ... The sad thing in that Holland Sport interview is that the presenter kept calling Anish, "Ashni". Multiple times. Very embarrassing.> Yeah, i've noticed that too. It made me think that maybe WE were pronouncing his name wrongly and that Giri's first name should really be pronounced "Ashni". Anyway, i liked the interview, and the kid... Kudo's to HS for putting the spotlight on chess! |

| shintaro go: <notyetagm> Now that Giri is playing for the Netherlands, that would be a interesting possibility. |

| drnooo: One item here to consider: with the caveat that this fellow has too few games for much pondering but here goes. If you look at most of the world champions, almost without exception, their win rate is sixty five percent and up. (Thus why I always considered Keres a world champ who got hornswoggled by the Soviets and Stalin in particular.
Anyway this guys sixty five is better than Carlsens ratio. Does it mean anything, probably not. Still there are very few in this entire database with a sixty five. We shall see. |

| jia: I love Giri. He's young, fearless, precocious and has the biggest smile. Plus he does not have some huge genius tag on him like Magnus does. Reminds me of myself when I was younger. I'm sure he's an inspiration to many and hopes he continues to do well. (: |

| walker: I like this abou him:
From WIKI:
"Unlike most other prodigies, he is less active in chess and going to school regularly. Mostly plays in tournaments during holidays and weekends. His favorite subjects are physics and mathematics. He speaks Russian, English, Dutch, Japanese and a little bit of Nepalese (understands well). In school, he is studying German as well. He likes to play football and table tennis" |
