  HeMateMe: Kramnik walked into a mating net.
Mar-22-11  Garech: <HeMateMe> - True, still - a powerful game from Aronian, he seems incredible at the moment - my money's on him being a very strong contender to play Anand next year.

  HeMateMe: He would seem to be the early favorite.

"The game remained interesting, but I played accurately and brought home the bacon, although I don't eat bacon."

  chancho: Definitely playing fantastic chess in this event.
Mar-23-11  luzhin: 9.Qxd5 is Aronian's attempted improvement on Topalov's choice of 9.Nxd5 against Kasparov back in 1997. Whatever the result of this game, I doubt we'll see 8.g4 again at the highest level.

<computer chess guy: 20. .. Ng4 was very clever - if the Knight is taken, then Bd5+ is deadly. Amazingly, Aronian is able to leave the Knight en prise for 8 moves.>

Just like 39 ♘g6-f4+! in this game, <LINE CLEARANCE> for a deadly check by a bishop.
