  HeMateMe: if black plays 72...K-e4 white plays 73.K-g4+, swapping Queens? In the ensuing play both sides queen but white is on move and can check blacks king into a position where he will have to exchange Queens again? That's what it looks like. White then has two extra pawns to win with.

May-18-19  Roark: At first I thought that Ian Nippo's play from first glance was incredible how he played a rare line of which Aronian should have been familiar with since his number one defense is the Marshall. The way Nippo converted to a win I thought was incredible but after seeing the interview of both players after the game in the link below, it's not so. Ian was quite humble about him being quite lucky to convert because that extra pawn was as it looked too little perhaps but Aronian and Ian both said they thought they played inaccurately for quite a few moves. Cool post-game interview.
Still much respect for Ian for his character in battling out these games to the bitter end. And nice conversion anyways without being as accurate as he would ideally have liked to be. https://en.chessbase.com/post/mosco...
May-18-19  Nietzowitsch: Lemon Erronian strikes again!
May-18-19  Ulhumbrus: If after 10...Rf8 Black's bishop pair does not gain him enugh for the pawn an alternative is 10...Ne6 11 Nxf7 Kxf7 with two minor pieces for a rook and a pawn
