Anish Giri celebrated a fine win over Vladislav Artemiev in the first round of the 5th Shenzhen Masters, but that was as good as it got for the Dutchman. He lost his next three rounds against Daniil Dubov, Arjun Erigaisi and Bu Xianghzi. In the live rating list, Giri has lost 13 points, which means he has dropped eight places in the tightly-packed field of top professionals. Giri, who was as high as fourth in the world rankings after his opening win, has dropped to 13th.
