Game of the Week #444
The Airthings Masters preliminaries were a very tense affair with a photo finish in the end. The only downside were the many draws, as several top players tried to consolidate their positive score. A true artist and the favorite player of many is Dubov, who constantly tries to create something. The most impressive game of the knock-out stage so far was Aronian beating Nakamura, which we will study in detail.
