Aronian

And so the match was finally decided in the two-game blitz finals with Aronian winning both blitz games, after a tie in both the 6-game and 4-game series. It has been a slugfest! Here we are at move 56... c2. Two coordinated knights against a rook plus a c pawn that's about to promote makes Magnus an unhappy boy! He played 57. Rd8+ Kc3 and the pawn will promote. If 57. Kb2, there is the very nice 57... Nd3+. 0-1 Aronian wins the match.
