Superbet Chess Classic 1: Giri's gamble almost backfires

“Nobody else wanted to play chess!” said Anish Giri after flirting with disaster against Bogdan-Daniel Deac on a day when the Superbet Chess Classic began with four completely uneventful draws. His game was also ultimately a draw, but only after 19-year-old Deac, a very late replacement for Richard Rapport, came within a move or two of victory. Instead it was a peaceful start to the first classical over-the-board tournament some of the players had played in a year and a half.
