Dec-06-17  JPi: A short but a tense game. I don't know if Black gambit is theory but the final position is an excellent example of Hypermodern Chess. I'm sure GM Keene will enjoy it.
Dec-06-17  John Abraham: Is 3.f3 an effective anti-KID strategy? I know Giri has played this move from the white side several times with much success.
Dec-07-17  Ulhumbrus: One of the commentators - it could have been Vachier Lagrave or Aronian - said that it was difficult to gain winning chances at this level and that Aronian could have avoided taking the risk of losing the game but then Black might have gained a draw.
