Anish Giri speaking to Cristian Chirila: “I signed up to play a 2650 Grandmaster, who hadn’t done anything great in a long time, but by the time the match started Hans was rated 2710 and he had beaten Maxime Vachier-Lagrave and Wesley So in the Speed Chess Championship. It was not at all what I had signed up for.”
