Giri became a grandmaster in 2009 at fourteen. That year he won the first of his five Dutch championships. His development included work with trainers Vladimir Chuchelov and Vladimir Tukmakov.

He began representing the Netherlands at the Olympiad in 2010. At his first Candidates tournament in 2016, he drew all fourteen games. He returned for the tournament completed in 2021 and remained a contender for first place until its closing rounds. After several near misses, he won the Tata Steel Masters in 2023. In 2025 he added the Sharjah Masters title. He also won that year's Grand Swiss, securing another Candidates appearance. Away from tournament play, he married fellow chess professional Sopiko Guramishvili in 2015. He has also joined Team Secret's esports programme.
