Tata Steel 2: Carlsen gets Giri revenge

Magnus Carlsen finished in style to win his first ever game against Anish Giri in Wijk aan Zee, getting revenge for a loss on the final day of the World Blitz Championship. It was a bad day for the Dutch, as Jorden van Foreest also lost a tricky knight ending to Richard Rapport. The other Masters games, including the Karjakin-Dubov grudge match, were drawn, but Shakhriyar Mamedyarov’s amazing 3.g4!? against Andrey Esipenko will live in the memory. 15-year-old Volodar Murzin leads the Challengers after beating compatriot Polina Shuvalova.
