***** Yeah, but no one really liked Petrosian's style either, they say it was too boring and conservative... I mean I studied some of his winning games and the attacks were quite strong (exchange sacrifices and similar things). But if we want a chess player who proceeded Aronian shouldn't it technically be Kasparov?
There are so many openings. So many trees of chess to climb on each one: Variations on variations. Bobby Fischer was said to have climbed more of these than anyone else.... ever. Which is why he says he gave up chess: That it had become rote memorization. Many of these games are begun with rote openings which accomplish different objectives: Defense, attack, position and control. But it would be helpful to know when that tree of the opening branches into an unfamiliar branch which is poorly understood or never analysed. You could simply say that "now so&so has played a move outside the standard opening or opened a new branch on the tree." Something that would let us know how and when to examine these lines, which can be used by the rest of the chess-mob as opposed to the Fischer's, Tal's, Carlsen's, and Kasparov's of the world past and present? This is NOT a critique.And I'm trying not to whine. I love your analysis, but I find it difficult to ascertain where the "standard" opening begins and the following middle game. Am I the lone idiot here? Just getting back to chess after a 40 year on and off absence from chess, so I may be.
Spoiler.... Qh5 at the end was the obvious finish but black was horribly lost at that point, it looked like white had several choices on how to end game but Qh5 it fastest and most accurate it appears.
Levon Aronian is from Armenia; Baadur Jobava from Georgia Armenian joke about caucasians. A boy asks his grandfather why the Armenians haven’t sent a man into space. The old man replies: ‘If the Armenians sent a cosmonaut into space, the Georgians would die of envy. If the Georgians would die of envy, the Armenians would die of pleasure. And if the Armenians and Georgians die, the Azeris will be left with all the land.’ Taken from: jossbachhofer.com/page/8/

I think you need more practice, because most of us have no problem following Mato's exposition.
Strong game, easy give-away at the end. Jobava got tired
