1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... c7c6  3. b1c3  3... g8f6  4. g1f3  4... e7e6  5. c1g5  5... h7h6  6. g5h4 The most  dangerous continuation against the Moscow variation, as Anand once said. 6... d5c4  7. e2e4  7... g7g5  8. h4g3  8... b7b5  9. f1e2 This line is again in the  spotlights. 9... c8b7  10. d1c2  10... f6h5  11. a1d1 Not only overprotecting the d4-pawn, but looking for  a good moment to bring his center into motion. 11... h5g3  12. h2g3  12... b8a6  13. a2a3  13... f8g7 An obvious move and a novelty. 14. e4e5 White's plan is clear. He immediately rushes with his knight  toward the weakened d6-outpost. 14... d8e7 Giri played this after some  thought. What happens next looks like the neatest way to deal with the  knight. 15. c3e4  15... e8c8  16. e4d6  16... d8d6 That was the point. 17. e5d6  17... e7d6 That's one of the main reasons why people accept the  gambited pawns early in the opening. In a later stage, a chunk of the  sacrificed material can be given back! 18. e1g1  18... g5g4 Giri tries to  intimidate his young opponent. 19. f3e5 Played without any hesisation. 19... g7e5  20. d4e5  20... d6e5  21. e2g4  21... h6h5  22. f1e1  22... e5f6  23. g4f3  23... h5h4 Giri continues his risky strategy, going all-in  for the attack. 24. b2b3 Giri hadn't taken into account the possibilty of allowing  ...hxg3, but Deac also has his eyes on the enemy king. Who is faster? 24... c4b3  25. c2b3  25... h4g3  26. f2g3  26... f6g7  27. b3d3  27... a6c7 At least Giri remembers that he still has a knight on the  board and tries to bring it back into the battle. This might be a tad  late, though. 28. d3d6  28... c6c5 This active attempt could have lost on the spot. 29. d6d7 Deac is tempted by the black pawn on e6, and this is the most  natural thing indeed. 29... c8b8  30. f3b7  30... b8b7  31. e1e6  31... g7g3 Black not only regains his pawn  but manages to cover his king while attacking the opponent's one. 32. d7c6  32... b7b8  33. c6d6 Trying his last chance: the endgame. 33... g3d6  34. e6d6  34... b8b7 Giri takes under control the c6-square and intends to  advance the pawns, but this does not seem optimal. 35. d6f6 Missing his last chance. 35... h8h7  36. d1d7  36... b5b4 The pawns are becoming dangerous. 37. a3b4  37... c5b4  38. g1f2  38... a7a5  39. f2e2  39... h7g7 Forcing the draw. 40. f6f7  40... g7g2  41. e2d1  41... g2g1  42. d1c2  42... g1g2 The king keeps checking until  the c-file is cleared for the defense of the knight. 43. c2b1  43... g2g1  44. b1b2  44... g1g2
