Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-01-09  imag: Look like Kings Indian at move 20, White pressurizes c7 and Black attacks on the kinside.

A nice win by Aronian. Maybe he should add the KID to his repertoire.

Aug-01-09  percyblakeney: Around move 30 Aronian had something like 15 seconds left against 10 minutes but the five second move increment was enough for him to win the game.
Aug-04-09  Ulhumbrus: As 3...Nge7 obstructs Black's development, this suggests d4 or a Danish gambit type pawn sacrifice eg by 4 d4 ed 5 c3 dc 6 Nxc3
Aug-08-09  ounos: Curious that only after Aronian brought 3 pieces to threat g2, he took that pawn... :)
