Feb-27-06		ahmadov: I think Aronian has substantially improved his game over the last six years. Otherwise, there is no justification for such a bad play. Black's 40....a5 is really very strange. Aronian must have been under serious time pressure to play this.

May-20-06		technical draw: Also, Paragua was 16 yrs old when he played this.

Feb-25-07		aazqua: I agree. Black should simply have reigned at move 40. What move would you have suggested ahmad? Black was down the exchange with a vastly inferior position. White just played a great game here.

May-10-07		jellyace: What if Aronian countered Bxh6 with 18. ... f5 19. Bxg7 fxe4 20. Bh6 exd3, etc.? Although his Kingside position weakens, I think he should survive any attack with careful play.

May-13-07		knights.templar: hi to all of you guys!

May-13-07		ounos: Doesn't 25 ... Bg7 win easily?

Jan-02-09		Ychromosome: <ounos> Good observation with 25...Bg7, but this is a false skewer. It gives a slight advantage to white after 26.Rad1 (Bxe5 27.Rxd7 Nxc4 is worse according to mr. computer) Qe8 27.Qf4 is a solid advantage for white.
