1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... d7d6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... g8f6  5. b1c3  5... a7a6  6. f2f3  6... e7e5  7. d4b3  7... c8e6  8. c1e3  8... b8d7  9. g2g4  9... f8e7  10. d1d2  10... e8g8  11. e1c1  11... b7b5  12. g4g5  12... f6h5  13. c1b1  13... d7b6  14. b3a5  14... a8c8  15. a2a3  15... g7g6  16. h2h4  16... h5g3  17. h1g1  17... g3f1  18. g1f1  18... b6a4  19. c3a4  19... b5a4  20. h4h5  20... d8d7 A novelty. The  queen is well placed on the seventh rank, both ready to protect the black  king from the kingside attack and get to a better position on b5 for  instance. 21. f1h1  21... f8e8  22. d2h2  22... e7f8  23. e3d2 Nice regroupment by Aronian. Bb4 will hit the backward pawn, defend the knight and block the b-file from the  major piece attack. 23... c8c7 Very logical, the rook overprotects the  seventh rank thus allowing a chance to the queen to be activated. Logical, but not perfect. 24. d2b4  24... e8b8  25. d1d3  25... d7b5  26. d3c3 But this is a serious mistake. One pair  of rooks less means more room for the black pieces to operate. They just  fit in perfectly. 26... b8c8  27. c3c7  27... c8c7  28. h1d1  28... c7d7  29. d1d3  29... f8e7 This is the thing. The bishop no longer needs to protect the king and can enter the battle. 30. h5g6  30... f7g6  31. h2d2  31... b5b6  32. d2c1  32... e7d8 It is the knight which is more attractive to  the world champion. In order to save it Aronian needs to weaken the second rank. 33. c2c4  33... b6f2  34. a5c6 Another natural move and yet another mistake.  This game is a nice example that obvious does not mean best. 34... d8g5 A well-calculated temporary sacrifice which secures Black a pleasant endgame. 35. c1g5  35... f2f1  36. b1c2  36... e6c4  37. g5e3  37... c4d3  38. e3d3  38... f1d3  39. c2d3  39... h7h5  40. d3e3 Aronian tries to  distribute his remaining forces properly. The king goes to the kingside to stop the passers. 40... g8f7 The bishop will take care of the queenside... 41. b4c3  41... f7e6  42. c6b4 ..whereas the knight will cement the center. 42... g6g5  43. e3f2  43... d7f7 But it ain't enough. Black cannot break on the queenside and  in the center, but on the kingside there is an uneven battle of a rook and pawns against the king and a pawn. 44. f2g2  44... g5g4  45. f3g4  45... f7g7 Brilliant! Carlsen keeps the more distant passer in order to create more room for his rook and overstretch the white pieces. 46. b4d5  46... g7g4  47. g2f3  47... g4g1 Next the world champion will push the outside  passer as far as possible. 48. f3f2  48... g1g7 A click in a won position. 49. f2f3  49... h5h4  50. c3e1  50... h4h3  51. e1g3 Thus, arresting some of the white pieces.  Next, it is time for the rook to completely tie down the remaining white  pieces. 51... g7b7  52. d5b4  52... a6a5  53. b4d3  53... b7b3  54. f3e2 Mission accomplished. It is his Majesty's move. 54... e6f6  55. g3h2  55... f6g5  56. h2g3  56... g5g4  57. g3h2 All is ready for 57... b3d3 The 'petite combinaison.' 58. e2d3  58... g4f3  59. d3d2  59... f3e4  60. d2e2  60... d6d5  61. h2g3  61... d5d4  62. g3h2  62... e4d5  63. e2d2  63... e5e4  64. d2e2  64... d5c4  65. h2e5
