1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... d7d5  4. b1c3  4... c7c5  5. c4d5  5... f6d5  6. e2e3  6... b8c6  7. f1d3  7... f8e7  8. a2a3  8... d5c3  9. b2c3  9... e8g8  10. d1c2  10... h7h6  11. e1g1  11... b7b6  12. f1d1  12... e7f6 A novelty and a typical Gruenfeld-like pawn sacrifice. 13. d4c5  13... d8c7  14. c5b6  14... a7b6  15. c1b2  15... c6e5 One of the points behind the  sacrifice. Wang clears the road for his long-ranged pieces and puts  pressure against the c3 pawn at once. 16. d3h7  16... g8h8  17. h7e4  17... a8a5  18. c3c4  18... e5f3  19. e4f3  19... f6b2  20. c2b2 Aronian manages to stick to his extra pawn. 20... c8a6  21. f3e2  21... a6c4  22. e2c4  22... c7c4  23. b2b6  23... a5a8 Conceptually, this is the result of the  novelty. Very soon an endgame with an extra pawn for White will appear on  the board. Many openings are based on these hypothetical endgames. Are  they holdable for the defender, or not? 24. b6b4  24... c4c7  25. h2h3  25... c7a5 The  right plan. Wang goes for the queen swap. 26. b4f4  26... a5f5  27. f4f5  27... e6f5 The endgame should be holdable for Black, but  Aronian's skillful play puts a lot of pressure on his opponent all the  time. 28. d1d5 This secures the advance of his passer all the way to  a5. 28... g7g6  29. a3a4  29... f8c8  30. a1a2 Another small, almost unnoticeable move which deprives Black of any chance of counterplay along the second  rank. 30... c8c1  31. g1h2  31... h6h5 Wang is correctly arranging his pawns on  the kingside. 32. a4a5  32... a8a6  33. g2g3
