Στον χθεσινό γύρο του τουρνουά Grenke στη Γερμανία παίχθηκε η ενδιαφέρουσα παρτίδα ανάμεσα στον Aronian (λευκά) και τον Adams (μαύρα). Ήταν η Αγγλική παρτίδα με τον Aronian να έχει να αντιμετωπίσει αρκετά προβλήματα μετά τις πρώτες κινήσεις. Δεν θα παρουσιάσουμε αυτή την παρτίδα, αλλά μία παλαιότερη στην οποία αναφέρθηκαν και οι δύο παίκτες μετά τον αγώνα τους. Είναι η μινιατούρα του Kasparov έναντι του V. Ivanchuk πίσω στα 1988.
