Aronian often prefers this way of playing, to stop Bg5, possibly as it leads to a complicated struggle. [My recommendation throughout this chapter is to prefer a more open game, and so I would play 13. -- cxd4 here, aiming for the active backward d-pawn position: 14.Nxd4 Bb7 15. Bg5 h6 16. Bf4 [or 16. Bh4 , S.Velickovic-I.Martic, Valjevo 2012, Rc8and then ...Re8 and ...Qb6 ] Rc8 (Black's pieces come easily to active posts) 17.Nce2 d5 !? [ now the e-pawn advances and the game gets a bit messy; 17. -- Nec6 ! is more natural - 18. Nxc6 Bxc6 !?as on 19. Bxd6 Re8 White cannot defend both b2 and e4 ] 18. e5 Nc4 19. e6 ! Nxb220. Qb1 Nc4 21. exf7+ Kxf7 [21. -- Rxf7 !?22. Bxg6 Nxg6 23. Qxg6 Qf6 would be safer ] 22. a4 ! Qb6 23. axb5 ! (White grabs his chance to play for the attack, and is not afraid to sacrifice material) Bxd4 24.Nxd4 Qxd4 25. Bxh6 axb5 26. Bxf8 Rxf8[26. -- Kxf8 !? ] 27. Qxb5 was unclear but unpleasant for Black in I.Chirila-A.Shabalov, Richardson 2011. ] 14. Rb1Nec6 !? 15. d5 Ambitious - Leko heads for a Benoni-style position, which most 1 e4 players are loath to do. [15. dxc5 dxc5 16.Nd5 is nothing special for White: Be6 17.Be3 Bxd5 18. exd5 Nd4 . ] Nb4 16. a3Nxc2 17. Qxc2 Re8 Black has a nice Benoni position - his queenside pawns are already advanced and White's central majority is ineffective. 18. b4 Nc4 The 'offside' knight is rather useful too, and will now hop around causing havoc wherever it lands. 19. Nd2 Ne5 20. f4 Ng4!? 21. Nf3 [21. hxg4 ?? is impossible: Bd4+22. Kf1 Qh4 23. Ke2 Qxg4+ 24. Kd3 Qxg2with a devastating attack. ] cxb4 22. axb4Qc7 !? 23. Bd2 [23. hxg4 was the safest choice: Qxc3 24. Qf2 Bxg4 25. Bb2 when White is not worse. ] Qa7+ 24. Kh1 Nf2+25. Kh2 Nxh3 ! No let-up! It is difficult to believe that this was only a blitz game. 26.Be3 [Certainly not 26. gxh3 ?? Qf2+ 27.Kh1 Qxf3+ . ] [But 26. Nd1 ! would forceNf2 when 27. Nxf2 Qxf2 28. f5 would have been messy. ] Qd7 ! 27. Qd2 Qg4 28. Rf1 ?[ White was in a difficult position anyway, and even after a better move such as 28.Rbc1 (to defend the c3-knight) Qh5 29.Kg3 Bf6 he would have to find some good moves to hang on. Still, the black knight on h3 does look a bit strange. ] Nxf4Aronian wants to play all his moves with either his knight or queen! [ Otherwise he could have moved a bishop - 28. -- Bxc329. Qxc3 Qh5 and White is quite lost: neither 30. Kg3 [nor 30. gxh3 Bxh3 31. Rf2Bg4+ 32. Kg2 Qh3+ 33. Kg1 Bxf3 ] Rxe4will save him. ] 29. Bxf4 Bxc3 30. Qe3 [Or30. Qxc3 Qxf4+ 31. Kh1 Bg4 32.
