Levon Aronian vs Viswanathan Anand: 2011 Bilbao Chess Masters Final, Round 9 - Aronian started slow at the 2011 Bilbao Chess Masters Final, however he began to score some nice wins in the second half of the tournament in Spain to attempt to catch up to Ivancuk, Carlsen and Nakamura. While Aronian finished tied for 3-5th, he still put a nice victory in this game. He opened with the Queen's Gambit as white, and Anand quickly accepted a sacrificed pawn with 6. ...Nxe4!? - however Aronian quickly achieved more than sufficient counterplay by rapidly seizing the initiative and placing instant pressure on black's king with 10. Bxf6 11. d5! and 12. Rfe1+ Anand was really out of form at the 2011 Bilbao Chess Masters Final, easily evident with his indecisiveness and passivity in moves like 15. ...Qe8 16. ...Qe7 and especially in 17. ...Rab8. Aronian went on to finish the game accurately, forcing Anand's resignation with a spectacular yet easily visible tactic in 25. Rxe6!

@serichejr Chess keeps evolving, you can't be number one forever because no matter how good you are at a game, someone always comes and beats you.

they have another video where it is in a different language... i was lookin at that one... i didnt know what i was thinking

[AlanWattParrot]

Rb8 / b1 .. and yknow summat's gone wrong lol ..such a painfully passive move that all too often i find myself playing against engines

Lev ran rings round the champ here, just look at the simple tactical end position, brilliant

[serichejr]
