Garry Kasparov (1993)

1.Nxh6!+- Bf6 [1...Nxh6 2.Qg5+ Kh7 3.Bc2!+- f6 4.Qg6+ Kh8 5.Qxh6+ Kg8 6.Re4] 2.Bxf7!+- Rxf7 3.Qg6+ Kh8 4.Qxg8# 1-0

⚪️ #21 (Strategy - White To Move)

🔹#21
It is necessary to move the knight to с4, closer to the weak d6-square. 1.Na3!+🔹

⚪️ #22 (Strategy - White To Move)

🔹#22
It made sense to establish control over the a-file by playing 1.Ra2! (the a1-square is vacated for the second rook). On 1...Rxa2? 2.Qxa2 followed by 22.Ra1, his control over the open a-file secures a great and probably decisive
advantage for White🔹

MVL and Levon are good friends

Look at Aronian's clock! They have played 23 moves and he has seven minutes more than what they started off with!
