Jul-20-12    waustad: Giri gets out of here and heads down to Biel Sunday. Not a lot of decompression time. Eh, he's young. It might work. Jul-20-12    kappertjes: Young and winning works like an energizer bunny. The opposition will be tougher at Biel though. Jul-20-12    Shams: Looks like Giri has wrapped things up with a round to spare. Jul-20-12    notyetagm: The Giriminator is back with a vengeance! Jul-20-12    achieve: Smeets awaits in the final round, but Giri said with a smirk,well it is not a Nakamura or a Morozevich, speaking of his Biel opposition... But the title is already his so some frivolity may be expected from the meanwhile 18 year old.
