The vintage blockade and further reserves can be brought in. The center pawns might appear to be going nowhere fast, but they do restrict White's pieces, and once the queen-side is really secure their time will come!

After a great game by both players, Levon Aronian blundered a beautiful final move by Vladimir Kramnik today at the 2018 FIDE Candidates' Tournament in Berlin. Tournament leader Fabiano Caruana held Shakhriyar Mamedyarov to a draw.

Bukhuti Gurgenidze (Georgian SSR) v. Tigran Petrosian (Moscow); I think this is most likely their encounter from the 3rd USSR People's Spartakiad (Moscow, August 1963). That game, a French Defence, was drawn in 38 moves.
