Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-04-14  coolconundrum: Great game!
Dec-04-14  achieve: SPECTACULAR GAME - i'd say
Dec-04-14  visayanbraindoctor: This is the kind of game I like to see Giri playing. Gutsy play against the veteran GM Akopian, even after two consecutive losses.
Dec-04-14  sreeskamp: Impressive game, indeed
Dec-06-14  whiteshark: After 18 moves Giri was still in the book and moved in less than his increment time.
Dec-17-18  Saniyat24: d-Giri Line...!
Oct-13-22  tonsillolith: <32. Nxc7> wins back the exchange, and the subsequent fork ensures both queens are traded.

White may still be worse, but this looks like an improvement on the text.
