๐Ÿ“—9.Qe2
OK, Giri plays the middlegame with his queen on e2. Giri himself suffered a lot against Adams to make a draw in this position.
๐Ÿ“—20...g6
The position is rather balanced. Black lacks enough space and stats passive but she has no weaknesses and once the heavy pieces are off the board draw would be a conceivale result.

๐Ÿ“—32...Qร—e7
It is hard to imagine if someone can lose this position but the tragedy in this opening does not end for Hou Yifan here.

๐Ÿ“—44...Kd8
Hou Yifan gets tired and gives away good targets to white. Now black's pawn are vulnerable.

๐Ÿ“—47.h5?! Giri returns the favor.
(47.Qf3 Qe6 48.b4 ould give might some slight edge.)
