Since he opened a new chapter of his life by relocating to the U.S. and settling down in St. Louis, it seems his game has soared to new heights. 10. a2a4  10... c8a6  11. f3g5  11... f6d5  12. d2e4  12... c5b4  13. e4c3 Well-played by GM Vincent Keymer. Did he analyze this line with his esteemed coach, GM Peter Leko $2 13... b4c3  14. b2c3  14... b5b4  15. g5e4 Another strong move. 15... e8g8  16. e4c5  16... a6c8  17. c3b4  17... c6b4  18. c1a3  18... b4c2  19. a1a2  19... c2a3  20. a2a3  20... a8b8  21. e2e4  21... d5f6  22. a3c3 White has emerged with some advantage. The position of Nc5 vs. Bc8 is telling. 22... b8b4  23. g2f1  23... e6e5  24. f2f3  24... h7h5  25. f1c4  25... c8h3  26. c5d3 Perhaps, a critical point. 26... f8d8 Aronian went for a tactical move, 27. c3c1  27... b4a4  28. d3e5  28... d8d1  29. c1d1  29... h3e6  30. c4e6  30... f7e6  31. d1d8  31... g8h7  32. h2h4 A different picture now. The white king has room to roam, while his black counterpart is dangerously boxed in.
