Nepomniachtchi defeated Anish Giri in round 3 of the Sinquefield Cup 2024. While all focus has been on Gukesh – Ding Liren from round 1, there certainly have been more solid chess games on display. The Nepo – Giri game is a masterpiece, and Nakamura was quick to note it. Hikaru Nakamura said, “Marvelous win for Nepo… for Ian this probably goes as the top game of his career!”
