Torneo De Candidatos FIDE 2026: Anish Giri (Paises Bajos, 2753)

 

Tras clasificarse al ganar el Gran Suizo FIDE 2025 en Samarcanda, Giri participará en el Torneo de Candidatos por tercera vez en su carrera.

Considerado uno de los jugadores de élite más consistentes de la última década, ha sido un habitual entre los mejores grandes maestros del mundo desde su adolescencia y un participante frecuente en el ciclo del Campeonato Mundial, destacando por haber empatado las catorce partidas del Torneo de Candidatos de 2016. En el Torneo de Candidatos 2020-21, luchó por el primer puesto hasta las rondas finales.

Con numerosas victorias en torneos internacionales, Giri ha sido la pieza clave del equipo neerlandés durante muchos años, obteniendo una medalla de bronce en la Olimpiada de Ajedrez de 2014, además de destacadas actuaciones individuales en el primer tablero en otras Olimpiadas y competiciones europeas por equipos.

Actualmente número ocho del mundo, Giri es conocido por su profunda preparación de aperturas, su claridad estratégica y su precisión técnica. Si bien al principio de su carrera se le asociaba a veces con un juego sólido, en los últimos años ha adoptado un enfoque mucho más ambicioso, ofreciendo muchos partidos dinámicos y ofensivos.
