  FSR: Alekseenko says of this game, "Perhaps it was the best game . . . of the tournament, and the year and perhaps my career." https://chess24.com/en/read/news/al...

  Richard Taylor: Karjakin made an enterprising sac but Aleseenko defended well against the passed pawn and the pressure.

  fredthebear: Certainly unique opening play, the only example of it's kind in the database. The engine prefers White after 11.Nc3 but says it's equal after 15...Qxd4.
