1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. f1c4 The Bishop’s Opening will soon transpose into a normal Italian. 2... g8f6  3. d2d3  3... f8c5  4. g1f3  4... d7d6  5. e1g1  5... e8g8  6. c2c3  6... c5b6  7. b1d2  7... c7c6  8. c4b3  8... f8e8  9. f1e1  9... c8e6 Probably the safest way to fight the Spanish (pardon me, Italian) bishop. 10. b3c2 If White wants to play for something, he needs to preserve this bishop. 10... b8d7  11. d3d4 A novelty $1 Aronian decided to show who is the big boss in the center. 11... e6g4 Anand has his own arguments.

Black wants to prove that the opponent's kingside is too shabby. 15. f3e5  15... e8e5 \"I do not see a defense for him.\" (Anand) The main threat is to break open the center with d6-d5. 16. d2c4 Now it is really bad. 16... f6e4 Everything is hanging, but it is Black who is winning. 17. c4b6  17... e4f2 Simply crushing $1 18. d1d2  18... d8b6 And the unleashed black knight cleared everything after 19. e1e5  19... f2g4  20. g1g2  20... g4e5  21. c2g6  21... h7g6  22. d2d6  22... b6b5  23. d6d1  23... e5d3
