Anand's 21st-century masterpiece against Aronian.
Review
Black to play. Anand plays 16...Nde5!! sacrificing material for an overwhelming attack. The position is so concrete that every Black move must be calculated to a forced win — and Anand played them all flawlessly. The standing ovation that followed his quiet 23...Be3 remains one of the most memorable moments of modern chess.
