  Peligroso Patzer: This was the first rapids game (25 min. + 10 sec.) from the tie-break that was needed to decide this match after each player went +2 -2 =2 during the regular phase.
Jun-03-07  ounos: 40. ... h6?? An totally unneeded weakness, it seems.
Jun-03-07  JohnBoy: 40...h5 might be more appropriate. Tough to face if not would be 41.e6 fe6 42.Bg4.
Jun-05-07  aragorn69: Magnus's father comment on this game: <In the tie-break Magnus drew black pieces first and played a Benoni where he felt quite comfortable until the horrible mistake Qe5. Aronian played the ending accurately to secure 1-0.>
