1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... d5c4  3. e2e4  3... b7b5 One can only admire Dominguez's spirit $1 After an extremely tense and tiring tiebreaker, he is not afraid to enter one of the most complex and sharp lines in the Queen’s Gambit Accepted. 4. a2a4  4... c7c6  5. a4b5  5... c6b5  6. b1c3  6... d8b6 This is now more promising than 6... Bd7, at least according to Megabase. 7. c3d5 The most aggressive move. It should be noted that not only did the white pieces rapidly create threats while developing but they were moved at a very rapid speed by their commander too. 7... b6b7  8. c1f4  8... e7e5 A key resource to bring the idle pieces out. 9. f4e5  9... b8d7  10. e5f4  10... g8f6 Black needs to sacrifice the exchange but at least is gaining the initiative back. 11. d5c7  11... e8d8  12. c7a8  12... b7e4 Another important, subtle move that destroys White's coordination. 13. g1e2  13... e4a8  14. f2f3 Aronian intends to castle by hand. 14... f6d5  15. f4g5 And the former Armenian and now American defends once again his reputation as an extremely well-prepared player by banging out a novelty. 15... f7f6 An obvious reply, but it cost Black a precious [almost] half-an-hour on the clock. 16. g5d2  16... f8d6  17. e2g3 This is the first moment in which White slightly slowed down and took some time on the clock. b2-b3 is a threat, and therefore Black's next is best. 17... a8b8  18. e1f2 White's plan is obvious: accomplish the development of pieces and castle by hand. After some more thought, Dominguez went for 18... h8e8  19. f1e2  19... d6c7 The same maneuver is still excellent; however, Aronian managed to escape the danger zone. 20. h1e1  20... c7b6  21. f2g1  21... d7e5 And this maneuver is still there; Black is heading for the d4-pawn. But… this is the moment in which the computer goes bananas, and it falls in love with White's position. 22. g1h1 This was part of his plan anyway. 22... e5c6  23. b2b3 Aronian knows that the opening of the files can only serve him well. 23... c4c3 The only reasonable move. 24. e2b5  24... c8d7 It seems as if the c3-passer is too big to fall. 25. e1e8  25... d7e8  26. d2e1 And White starts to play around the passer. 26... c6d4  27. b5e8 Most likely Aronian simply believed that this is the easiest route to victory. 27... c3c2 The only move $1 28. d1d3
