Aronian, L. (2756) - Navara, D. (2658) [E17]
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Bb7 5. Bg2 Be7 6. Nc3 Ne4 7. Bd2
7...f5 The Queen's Indian Defence. 8. Qc2 Bf6?! Usually Black plays 8...Nxc3. 9. Ne5! The text is better than 9. d5 Qe7 10. Rd1 with a draw in Pacheco, M - Oshiro Shinsato, R, Lima 2002. 9...d5 White gets a small edge after 9...Nd6 10. Bxb7 Nxb7 11. Nf3 Nd6 12. Bf4 Nc6 13. d5 e5 14. dxc6 exf4 15. cxd7+ Qxd7, Baginskaite, C - Akopyan, H, San Francisco 2000. 10. cxd5 Nxc3?! Probably, Black considered that White must also take on c3. More precise is 10...exd5 with only a minimal advantage to White.
11. Nf7!! A nice blow. White prefers to attack right away. 11...Qd7? The naive 11...Kxf7 is met by 12.dxe6+, and White gathers the black pieces on the long diagonal. Or 11...Qc8 12. Nxh8 Nxd5? 13. e4 fxe4 14. Qxe4 g6 15. Nxg6 hxg6 16. Qxg6+ Ke7 17. Qh7+ Ke8 18. O-O-O Ne7 19. d5. However, Black could continue 12...Bxd5!? that is the most stubborn, and after 13. Bxd5 Nxd5 14. e4 fxe4 15. Qxe4 g6 White has the initiative, but cannot win quickly. 12. Bxc3 Bxd5 13. Bxd5 Qxd5
14. e4 fxe4 15. Nxh8 White grabs the exchange. 15...Nc6 16. O-O Ke7 17. Rae1 Rxh8 18. Rxe4 Rd8 19. Rfe1
19...Rd6 This is the end. 20. Rf4 g6 21. h4 Rd7 22. h5 Bxd4 23. hxg6 hxg6 24. Qxg6 Ne5 25. Qf6+ Black resigned. 1-0
