Levon Aronian vs Viswanathan Anand · 2007 · move 25.
Which move brings the c5-knight to e4 with an attack on the bishop on g3?
This 2007 world championship game combines sharp Semi-Slav pawn structures with concrete piece coordination. Anand challenges the centre, plants a knight on e4 and later supports it with the f-pawn. The same pawn eventually advances again while the queen and rook cooperate near White’s king.
