Morozevich continues playing creatively, and unfortunately Aronian seems not to be in his best form. Personally I was impressed by Carlsen’s win. A game in the great positional tradition of Rubinstein, Capablanca, Smislov, Karpov, etc. (I think Lasker, Botvinnik, Flohr, Fischer, perhaps Kramnik would also have been able to play such a game).
I like Moro’s position even though it perhaps doesn’t eval to a plus and even though the pawn on c line is perhaps not possible to hold onto it does slow black down in his development and shatters his ideas of any swift move to the kingside. Clearly in terms of manouverability I would love to play black here, full frontal attack on the king no mercy, take as many chances as possible.
great positional pressure against black’s king. The stranded c pawn slows black down even if the pawn will fall black has to negotiate around it to defend his king
