Howell -
Aagaard

Two newly-minted GMs fight it out here with Aagaard enjoying material advantage, but how to convert it into a win? Aagaard shows us his technical prowess with 65...Ra2+ 66. Kh3 Ra8 ( not 66... Kf3 because of 67. Bf4 and the bishop cannot be captured due to stalemate ) 67. Kg2 Rg8 and white is left with nothing but king moves. Howell resigned here since 68. Kh3 Kf3 69. Kh2 Rc8 70. Kh3 Rc4 ( now, the black king can move away from the F pawn ) 71. Bd8 Ke2 72. Bb6 f3 73. Kg3 Rg4+ and it looks very bad for white.
