The merits of this way of capturing will become clear on the next move. 11. a3b4  11... c6b4  12. b2b3 The natural way of fighting for the initiative, breaking the pawn chain. 12... a7a5 [%c_effect a5;square;a5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] A wonderful move that secures the knight on b4 and prepares the creative development of the rook by a6. This piece can lift to h6, and the knight might even help the attack by going to g5 in some cases. A clear case of chess harmony, when all the pieces of the puzzle come together. I'd praise Aronian even more if this was not the computer's first choice and if the position was not studied by him previously as I am almost sure it was. 13. b3c4  13... d5c4  14. a1b1  14... a8a6 [%c_effect a6;square;a6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The idea is revealed. 15. e3e4  15... f8e8  16. d4d5 A natural move, advancing the pawn mass, but the computer is not impressed.
