1. d4 {This game was played in the final round. Since Gabriel could already
not avoid winning the tournament, he decided to play for fun.} d5 2. c4 dxc4 {
I wonder if I am old and wise enough to condemn this move?} 3. e4 Nf6 {I have
twice had 3...e5 played against me. Both continuations are of equal merit.} 4.
e5 Nd5 5. Bxc4 {Black's main problem in this variation is his lightsquared
bishop, which wants to see the light of day, something White resolutely
prevents.} Nb6 6. Bd3 Nc6 7. Be3 Be6 ({Quite often Black plays} 7... Nb4 8. Be4
f5 9. exf6 exf6 {At the cost of some weakening of his central squares, Black
is able to develop his pieces.}) 8. Nc3 Bc4 {Both 8...Nb4 and 8...Qd7 have
also been played. Not being a great expert on the variation, I will not offer
any opinion on the merits of these alternatives.} 9. Bxc4 Nxc4 10. Qb3 {
White creates confusion in the black position, by driving the knight to a5.}
N6a5 11. Qc2 e6 12. Nf3 {Doctor Huebner once developed the knight to e2 in
such a position. Both ideas have their merits. On f3, the knight is more
aggressive, since it can come to g5 in various positions.} Nc6 {Granda Zuniga
follows the game Sargissian-Ponomariov played earlier in the same tournament.
There, Gabriel did not achieve an opening advantage.} 13. a3 {The player
develops before our very eyes. In the previous game, the knight was allowed to
reach d5 via b4.} Nb6 {Even though Black has offloaded his problem bishop, he
has not equalized, as White has developed more pieces.} 14. O-O Ne7 ({After} 
14... Be7 {White can increase the pressure simply by} 15. Qe4 O-O 16. h4 {
The knight on c6 is chronically bad.}) 15. Ne4 Ned5 16. Bd2 {Played on the
basis of general considerations. To quote the author of the move: White has a
pleasant position, but since Black is very solid, it was decided to play a
couple of neutral moves.} Be7 17. Rfe1 {Some people may ask what the rook is
doing here. I assume Gabriel was dreaming of bringing it to g4. I take my cap
off to him!} Qd7 {Black tries to strengthen his position as much as possible
before determining the position of his king. Given his rather cramped position,
premature castling could have serious consequences.} 18. b4 {Increasing the
pressure.} h6 {Black does not have much to do, and so decides to wait.} 19. Ng3
{A mysterious move, but since it probably influenced Black's decision to play
c6, one it is a noteworthy move also. Looking through Gabriel's games, I
always have the feeling bthat there is something mystical in his play.} Qa4 20.
Qd3 c6 {Despite the difficulty of playing the black position, one must
acknowledge that this is a mistake. Now White's hands are freed. Maybe Black
should have continued waiting with 20...a6?} ({As for the interesting
possibility} 20... a5 {reliable sources inform me that this was going to be
met with} 21. bxa5 Nc4 22. Bb4 Nxa5 23. Nh5 {It seemed to Gabriel that after}
O-O {White could hope for a certain something. Nothing decisive is available,
however, and the outcome of the game would remain unclear.}) 21. Rec1 {It is
important to take control of the light squares.} Nc7 22. Ne4 ({Also
interesting is} 22. Nh5 g6 23. Nf6+ Bxf6 24. exf6 {, but this is hardly
necessary for White. This is all the more so, since it is not Gabriel's way to
transform an advantage so sharply.}) 22... Rd8 {A fortunate blunder of a pawn.}

retreats are not worth serious attention.} 25. Rc4 Qa6 26. Qc2 {26.Qb3 also

Ra4.} 27. cxb6 Nxb6 ({After} 27... axb6 28. Rxc6 Rc8 29. a4 O-O 30. Rc1 {
the pin cripples Black.}) 28. Rxc6 Ncd5 {An unlikely scenario. Despite losing
a pawn, Black's position suddenly looks harmonious. I can imagine the surprise
of both players.} 29. a4 ({It looks stronger to play} 29. Qc5 Ne7 30. Rc7 Ned5
31. Qc6+ Kf8 32. Qc5+ Kg8 33. Rc6 Qd3 34. a4 Kh7 35. a5 {although here too
Black retains drawing chances. After the move in the game, the main dangers
are already behind Black.}) 29... O-O 30. Qb3 {White cannot prevent the
exchange of the strong rook on c6. One has to accept that White's winning
chances are an illusion.} Rc8 31. Rac1 {31.Rd6 looks a bit desperate.} Rxc6 32.
Rxc6 Rc8 {An interesting move.} ({A good alternative was} 32... Qxa4 33. Qxa4

enormous efforts to hold the draw.}) 33. Rxc8+ Qxc8 34. a5 Qc4 {But this is

advantage.} 36. h4 {It is important to fix the pawns on h6 and g7.} Nde7 {

the weakness of the a6 pawn and the fixed kingside pawn structure.} g5 ({After

{The exchange French is not normally a variation that is seen at the
grandmaster level, mainly due to its drawish tendencies. This was not the case
today as Muzychuk actually got a very comfortable edge that quickly turned
into a dangerous advantage when her pieces were fully developed and her
opponent was far from doing so. In a normal day, or maybe after a rest day,
Muzychuk would surely have converted such a position, but in this tournament
things weren't clicking for her and she could only manage to draw.} 1. e4 e6 2.

where the knights are stronger than the bishops. White plans Ne3 and then jump
with the knight either to d5 or f5. It is difficult for Black to find a
constructive plan. Perhaps he should have advanced the pawn to c4, hoping to
create some dynamic play. However, the Indian GM already was short of time and
took the unfortunate decision to cover squares d5 and c5 with pawns.} g6 $2 {
The weakness of the long diagonal will sooner or later play its role.} 24. Ne3

another passive and ugly move.} c6 25. f4 Ng4 26. Nxg4 Bxg4 27. Ba1 Bb8 28. Rf1

or 6...a6 was the normal way to play. A strange opening choice by Aronian in
my opinion. When several people asked me to explain it, I thought it could be
a cool idea to try! Indeed, somehow White should be always slightly better
everywhere, while Black hopes to make a draw if White makes one or several
inaccurate moves. For me, it is very hard to know at what moment in a game top
players like Aronian go for a draw, or decide to go for a win. If I were
playing this opening with Black, it would mean I was planning for both a draw,
and for some side-line just to change a bit from the usual stuff. But Aronian
played 5...Bd7, declining a drawish queen exchange, though White should be
very slightly better after that. As a result I would say Aronian didn't want
to go desperately for a win, but also wanted to be creative, feeling that it
should be possible to hold even a slightly worse position due to the (almost)
hundred points difference. However, Vallejo is an extremely strong player, and
I think Aronian was not far from getting punished right after the opening.}) 6.
