So, W. – Aronian, L.

2748 2025 · Draw · View this game on Lichess

Wesley So, known for his disciplined and precise approach to chess, reaches for the Trompowsky Attack to take Levon Aronian out of his comfort zone as early as move two — a bold opening choice that signals a desire to fight on unfamiliar territory. Aronian, however, is famously at ease in almost any pawn structure, making this 2025 encounter a fascinating clash of styles. Expect an instructive and creative game as these two seasoned grandmasters navigate an off-beat but richly strategic opening.
