Kramnik Aronian match

24.04.2012

The long awaited exhibition match between Aronian and Kramnik is underway

Aronian took the first game, they drew the second and today came game 3 - and what a cracker of a game that was!
Kramnik opened 1.e4!! and chose the scotch 4 knights. Game was out of book already at move 9 and after Kramniks 11.Bg5 this was the position:

Aronian spent only 2 minutes here. Clearly he had prepared this next move already when he played 9...d5!?
So after just 2 minutes Aronian sac'ed his queen with 11...Nxc3!?!?!?

As it turned out, Aronian got 3 light pieces for the queen and although they were fairly well coordinated, Kramniks centralized queen made the difference. Kramnik won in 42 moves...
