One of the famous GM's, Taimanov or Averbach said that Fischer also did this quick play thing against Spassky.<br /><br />I didn't check it against an engine, but I don't think that White even needs to double pawns, if that were Aronion's hope. White has far too much on the ball. Instead, White played needlessly clever, which simply gave it away.<br /><br />A lot of times we as chessplayers play the man instead of the board, and are too clever by half.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57726894266049739.post-29627778734017118782014-01-18T08:13:58.675-08:002014-01-18T08:13:58.675-08:00I expected 32.fxg5 during the game.

I will after I study it more carefully.<br /><br />Aronian's manner of winning via the clock reminds me of how Magnus Carlsen became the world champion.James Stripeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437334325501974461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57726894266049739.post-78280103167590638932014-01-18T03:02:46.975-08:002014-01-18T03:02:46.975-08:00I think 32.fxg is winning for White and 32.Kh5 is ...I think 32.fxg is winning for White and 32.Kh5 is winning for Black.<br /><br />My impression of this game is the rating difference, White is doing a bit of overthinking, and Black is sitting on that big fat ratings differential (which is a psychological advantage), playing quickly and saying "C'mon, what you got?" Black probably knows that moving quickly as Black and letting the clock deal the finishing blow is the best way to go. Sure enough, White lost his way in time-pressure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
