1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. g1f3  2... g7g6  3. b1c3  3... d7d5  4. c1f4  4... f8g7  5. c3b5  5... b8a6 This position can  occur with reversed colors from the Chigorin Defense. 6. e2e3  6... f6h5  7. f4g5  7... c7c6  8. b5c3  8... d8b6 A novelty, but a typical move for the position. Black forces a concession. 9. a1b1  9... f7f6  10. g5h4  10... e8g8  11. h2h3  11... e7e5 All of this is pretty logical, but  Aronian's last move is not optimal. 12. g2g4  12... g6g5  13. g4h5  13... g5h4  14. h1g1  14... g8h8  15. h5h6 That is the difference: the h5-square is available for the queen, and Le can start attacking the  opponent's king at once. 15... g7h6  16. f3h4  16... h6g5  17. d1h5  17... g5h4 Sad, but needed. Otherwise, Nh4-g6 is unstoppable. 18. h5h6 A smart intermediate  move. 18... f8f7  19. h6h4  19... a6b4  20. e1d2  20... c6c5 Aronian blunders. 21. a2a3  21... b4c6  22. f1d3 Probably missed by Aronian. 22... b6d8  23. d4c5 Simple and good. Le gets enough time to consolidate his  queenside and concentrate on his kingside attack. 23... b7b6  24. b1d1  24... b6c5  25. d2c1  25... c8e6  26. d3e4 That is the problem. The pawn on d5  cannot stand. 26... c6d4  27. e4h1  27... a8b8  28. e3d4  28... c5d4  29. c3e2  29... d8b6 Now Black his own threats. 30. b2b4 In order to defend his a3-pawn along the third rank. 30... b6a6  31. d1d3  31... e5e4 Probably missing White's next. 32. b4b5 A brilliant spoiler! 32... a6a5  33. d3d4  33... a5a3 Now comes a fabulous king march. 34. c1d2  34... a3a5
