Trader consensus in the Andrey Esipenko vs. Anish Giri Round 4 matchup of the FIDE Candidates 2026 Open heavily favors a draw at 69%, driven by both grandmasters' cautious form after Round 3 draws—Esipenko holding Matthias Bluebaum and Giri repelling Hikaru Nakamura—leaving them tied at 1 point amid leaders Fabiano Caruana and Javokhir Sindarov's 2.5. Giri's superior 2753 rating and renowned solidity as Black slightly edges his 16% win probability over Esipenko's 12.5% with White, where aggressive play meets deep preparation in classical chess. High draw rates in early rounds and mutual need for points without risk reinforce the standoff in this double round-robin showdown in Cyprus.
