Levon Aronian defeated Magnus Carlsen in a brilliant game at the Altibox Norway Chess tournament. Reports Chess.com. This fight was the focus of attention, but Anish Giri and Hikaru Nakamura also won their games in what was one of the best rounds of any super tournament in recent years.
Aronian’s concept involved an exchange sac on the queenside (a2-a3, Bb4xa3, Ra1xa3, Qe7xa3) followed by c4-c5, to shut off the black queen.
