His manouevres of c5-d3-f4, and expansion on kingside with h4 followed by g4 and the central break e4 coupled with f4 were supremely high level concepts.} 1-0

1. d4 {Krasenkow,Michal} Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 {The e3-variation against the Nimzo-Indian is maybe the most popular way for White to play after the classical system with c2. How can a move that shuts in the bishop on c1 be any good. As experience has shown in this opening, it is much better for White to play in a slightly unambitious fashion with 4.e3 rather than 4.g5, the Leningrad Variation. The reason of it is that White would like to open the centre with e3-e4 after due preparation when it is the most advantageous for him.} O-O 5. Nf3 (5. Nge2 {is another popular way to play this position.}) 5... c5 6. Bd3 d5 7. O-O {The classical tabiya of this opening variation. At this point Black has to make an important decision. Would he like to dissolve the tension in the centre with the move cxd4 and dxc4 which would leave White with an isolated pawn or would he like to play his knight to c6 which results in an extremely popular opening position after c6 a3 xc3 bxc3. Caruana chooses the former.} cxd4 (7... Nc6 8. a3 Bxc3 9. bxc3 dxc4 10. Bxc4 Qc7 {is one of the most popular opening tabiyas in the e3 Nimzo Indian.}) 8. exd4 dxc4 9. Bxc4 b6 {This is a good position in which to take stock of the opening. White has an isolated pawn on d4 but in return he has free flowing development. His bishop has a natural square on g5 and his rooks have two semi-open files to work with from e1 and c1. On the other hand Black is a tad passive but he too has a very cohesive way of developing with the bishop going to b7 and the knight developing either on d7 or c6. The thing which gives this position a different flavour from normal IQP positions is the location of the bishop on b4 instead of e7. In many positions Black takes on c3 and gives White hanging pawns which he then tries to blockade or break up with e6-e5.} 10. Bg5 Bb7 11. Rc1 {A question which puzzles player even at the highest levels is where to place rooks in such IQP positions. Nimzowitch said that it is logical to put the rooks on c1 and d1 in his famous book "My System". Later through praxis it was confirmed that in order to avoid exchanges and launch a successful attack, White must place his rooks on d1 and e1. But here things are different as the bishop is on b4. Aronian would like to recapture the on c3 with his rook just in case Caruana chops off the knight with his bishop.} Nc6 (11... Nbd7 {is the normal way to develop because it allows Black to put his rook on c8 which will put pressure down the c-file. Yet c6 is not so uncommon.}) 12. Qd3 $5 {Now this is a rare move. It had been played by Alekhine back in 1933. It could be possible that Aronian got the idea of trying out this move when he was studying the games of the fourth World Champion. The idea is twofold. One is to at some point exchange the bishop on b7 with a6 and the other could be to play a3-a2-b1 and put pressure on the black kingside.} (12. a3 {is more commonly played.} Be7 13.
