1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... b7b6  4. g2g3 Grischuk called his strategy for the  game terrorism. He was basically aiming for a draw, while he did not mind  playing against something risky. \"Nothing to be proud of.\" (Grischuk) 4... c8b7  5. f1g2  5... f8b4  6. c1d2  6... c7c5  7. d2b4  7... c5b4  8. e1g1  8... e8g8  9. b1d2 Grischuk revealed that he was very familiar with this position. First of all he had played it as Black and secondly, he analyzed it with Vishy Anand and even  played some training games. 9... d7d6  10. d1b3  10... a7a5  11. a2a3  11... b8a6  12. f1d1  12... d8e7  13. f3e1  13... b7g2  14. g1g2 This obvious recapture is new. 14... h7h5 The only way to build some pressure. Black is weaker on the  kingside, and lacks space in the center. 15. e1c2  15... b4a3  16. b2a3  16... a8b8  17. e2e4  17... e6e5 If Black can only force White to push his pawn to d5, life would be wonderful. But he would never do that. 18. b3d3  18... a6c7  19. a1b1  19... c7e6 So far White believed his opponent played well and managed  to create certain kingside threats. 20. b1b5  20... f8e8  21. h2h4  21... g7g6  22. f2f3 Now White's plan becomes obvious. After covering all the  central squares he is ready to re-route his d2 knight to the d5 outpost, a plan Giri has missed. 22... f6d7  23. d2f1 Now White forces the  central trades at last and this is favorable for him. 23... e5d4  24. c2d4  24... d7e5  25. d3e2  25... e6d4  26. d1d4 The d5-outpost is far more valuable than the e5-square, plus  White's rooks attack on the half-open files which makes his position much  better. 26... e5c6  27. d4d1  27... e7e6  28. f1e3  28... c6e7  29. e2d2 \"Already he has no moves.\" (Grischuk) 29... f7f5  30. d2d6  30... e7c6  31. e4f5  31... g6f5 Practically resigning. 32. d6e6  32... e8e6  33. e3f5 Two pawns down, without counterplay Black has  nothing to hope for. Giri kept playing moves until finally accepting the  bitter truth. 33... c6e5  34. d1d6  34... e6e8  35. d6d4  35... e5c6  36. d4d2  36... b8d8  37. d2d8  37... e8d8  38. b5d5  38... d8d5  39. c4d5  39... c6e5
