Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-01-08  ToTheDeath: Very good endgame technique.
Aug-02-08  arsen387: This is a very well played positional game by Aronian and his endgame technique is also great. The power of 2 Bs!
Aug-14-08  Ulhumbrus: After 26 Bc3, 26...Ne4 can be answered by 27 Bd4.

If the move 26 Bc3 can be regarded as a threat, this suggests 25...Ne4. On 26 Rxf8+ Kxf8 27 Bxe4 dxe4 28 Rf1+ Ke7 29 Rf4! Ke6 30 Rxe4+ Kd5 31 Re7 Kxc5 32 Rxg7 wins a pawn with Black's QR undeveloped, but Black has an extra King in play.
