  An Englishman: Good Evening: This looks like a positional masterpiece to me. After move 29, White has nothing except a possible Knight hop to e5, and Black's pieces are a little passively placed. This seems to have been enough. I don't know if ...e5 was best (or forced). Also, swapping a pair of Rooks drew the Knight away from the defense of f5 for just one move, but Aronian put that one move to very good use.
