{This game is very special to me because after a long time I managed to win a
classical game in the World Cup as somehow unknowingly I was preferring to
take the fight to tiebreaks! Not to mention that I was battling a terrible
viral fever...} 1. c4 {English was quite popular in the World Cup with many

it seemed appropriate not to discuss topical theory today, even in the Dutch
Defence. Nach einem weniger als perfekten Start schien es angemessen, heute
keine aktuelle Theorie zu diskutieren, nicht einmal in der holländischen
Verteidigung.} Bg7 6. Nge2 O-O 7. O-O e5 8. b3 Nbd7 (8... Nc6 {would lead to a
well-known position from the closed Sicilian, with White a tempo up obviously.
Whether the extra tempo actually makes a difference is, of course, an entirely
different matter. würde zu einer bekannten Stellung aus dem Geschlossenen
Sizilianer führen, wobei Weiß offensichtlich ein Tempo mehr hat. Ob das
Extratempo tatsächlich einen Unterschied macht, ist, natürlich, eine ganz
andere Frage.}) 9. d3 {I thought it would be sensible to postpone the
devolopment of the bishop, and for that purpose I also prepared another
waiting move, Qd2. I thought that d4 here or during the next few moves would
be wrong, as Black can simply answer e4. I would then have to play f3 and
later try to get e4 in, but it seemed to me that Black is always ready for
this Ich hielt es für vernünftig, die Entwicklung des Läufers zu verzögern,
und zu diesem Zweck bereitete ich auch noch einen weiteren Wartezug vor, Qd2.
Die Fortsetzung d4 hier oder in den nächsten paar Zügen hielt ich für falsch,
da Schwarz einfach e4 antworten kann. Darauf würde ich f3 spielen und später
versuchen müssen, e4 durchzusetzen, aber mir schien, dass Schwarz immer dafür
gewappet ist.} c6 10. Ba3 Qc7 (10... Qe7 {is also possible, but it makes sense
not to put the queen in the line of fire of the white bishop. ist ebenfalls
möglich, aber es ist sinnvoll, die Dame nicht in die Schusslinie des weißen
Läufers zu stellen.}) 11. Qd2 Re8 {White is well prepared for a pawn storm on
the kingside, as g5 can always be met with f4. Therefore, putting this rook on
e8, and later the other one on d8, makes perfect sense. Für einen Bauernsturm
am Königsflügel ist Weiß gut gewappnet, da g5 immer mit f4 beantwortet werden
kann. Daher ist das Platzieren dieses Turmes auf e8 und später die des anderen
auf d8 absolut sinnvoll.} 12. Rae1 {I was very unsure of where to put the rook.
Basically, White has three ways of breaking in the centre, d4, e4 and f4. As I
said, I felt that d4 is usually not very good.  Clearly, the rook would be
better placed on the d-file if I'm going to play e4, but I think Black is well
prepared for this: Ich war sehr unsicher, wo ich den Turm hinstellen sollte.
Im Grunde hat Weiß drei Möglichkeiten, im Zentrum durchzubrechen, d4, e4 und
f4. Dabei schien mir, wie gesagt, dass d4 meist nicht sehr gut ist.  Wenn ich
e4 spielen will, stünde der Turm eindeutig besser in der d-Linie, aber ich
denke, dass Schwarz dafür gut gewappnet ist.} (12. Rad1 Nc5 13. e4 (13. d4 Nce4

in dem folgenden Abspiel sehr nützlich wäre, klüger, aber dann wird die Idee

quite typical for the Leningrad Dutch. It looks a little better for White, who
has no real weaknesses and a harmonious enough position, but in reality it's
probably closer to equal, as Black has enough influence in the centre, and his
only weakness on d6 can be easily defended.  Damit haben wir einen
Stellungstyp erreicht, der für den holländischen Leningrader ziemlich
charakteristisch ist. Es sieht ein bisschen besser aus für Weiß, der keine
echten Schwächen hat und harmonisch genug steht, in Wirklichkeit aber ist es
vermutlich eher ausgeglichen, da Schwarz genügend Einfluss im Zentrum hat und
sich seine einzige Schwäche auf d6 leicht verteidigen lässt.} 18. Bb2 Bf7 19.

around here, as I could not really figure out what was going on, and the game

position my opponent is considered to excel in. However, the position is quite
dangerous for Black if White can coordinate his pieces. Hier irgendwo stoppte
ich, da mir nicht wirklich klar wurde, was los war, und die Partiefortsetzung
ganz gut aussah. Außerdem ist diese Art von undurchsichtiger Stellung genau
das, worin mein Gegner als überragend gilt. Allerdings ist die Position

will almost certainly be the safer one when the position inevitably opens up.

played a single classical game.} 1. c4 e5 2. g3 g6 {This move surprised me. If
White adopts the Botvinnik setup (Bg2, Nc3, e4, Nge2 and d2-d3), Black can

chose between Nge7 and Nf6 and decide when to play f7-f5, if ever.} 3. d4 {

At the post game conference, Jan Gustaffson asked Aronian a very basic
question: "I was taught since childhood that when your opponent has two
bishops you shouldn't open the position. Then Why does Black play d5 here?"
Aronian understood that Jan was asking this question for the benefit of the
audience and explained it with the following remark. Asssume that the knight
is on e2 instead of f3. Now if Black plays d6 then White would simply 0-0 and
then launch an attack with f4 which would be very strong. Hence opening the
position with d5 is a necessity and not a luxury. Besides Black is ahead in
development and must exploit it.} 9. cxd5 cxd5 10. exd5 Nxd5 11. Qc2 Qc7 12.
