German GM that is unsatisfied with his position, tries to complicate the game. The following line would put up more stubborn resistance:
30. g3! Ra3 31. Rb1 Ra2 32. Bf1

12. Bd2!?
An interesting novelty that was introduced by Anish Giri against Kramnik in 2014.
By this paradoxical retreat White attacks the a5-pawn aiming to prevent the planned knight maneuver to b4.
