Had Giri capitalized on his many chances against Wei in round 12, today's match between Giri and Sindarov would have been a thriller. Unfortunately, Giri lost his advantage and drew his match with Wei. Giri is trailing Sindarov by 2 full points. So the thrill is gone. Giri drew his round 13 game with Sindarov, who clinched first place and will challenge the current world champion, Gukesh Dommaraju.
Every move, position, round, tournament, player has a story and song. The song before round 13 is "The Thrill is Gone"\ by BB King and Luciano Pavarotti
Thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone, baby
It's gone away for good
Someday, I know I'll be over it all, baby
Just like I know a man should
You know I'm free, free now, baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well
