Arjun and Vachier-Lagrave are two creative and aggressive players. A no-holds-barred battle was expected, and they didn't disappoint. They have different styles of opening play: while Arjun can try anything, Vachier-Lagrave sticks to his favorite openings. The theoretical battle starts early—the move 4.Qb3 is not very popular.
