Finally, the WC has a plus score over Giri.
There are only
three players among the World's top 20, he doesn't have a plus score against (among those he actually played):
Ding: +0 =2 -0
Nepomniachtchi: +4 =4 -0
Svidler: +2 =12 -1
and he's playing Ding today.

Just one decisive game as Karjakin's win against Topalov takes him to outright third whilst Topalov's three successive losses leave him 8th=.
