Sep 26, 2019 1...Qe3+, 2. Kh2 Ne4! (Aronian missed this move - dang it!!), 3. bxa6 Qg3+, 4. Kh1 Qxh3+, 5. Kg1 Qg3+, 6. Kh1 bxa6 and Black has an excellent compensation for a rook and his strong attack on White.

Sep 26, 2019 I watched Agadmater's youtube video just a little while ago covering this game- a couple of unfortunate mistakes cost Aronian a chance to move on immediately to the candidates round.
