Promise of greatness – Anish in Wijk →
Shirov won two in a row, Carlsen and Nakamura drew first blood – those are the stories from the Super-GM in Wijk aan Zee. But there is something extraordinary in the B-Group: a 15-year-old has won his first two games, both in dashing style, to take the lead. According to a Dutch newspaper Anish Giri holds the "promise of greatness in Dutch chess".

I wonder how will he fare against our favorite, Wesley So. Looking forward for that match! That's going to be on the 29th, I'll mark that in my calendar.
