Bizarre opening moves and an early innovation

By master

Innovations after move 20? There is no need to wait that long.
In Aronian-Kamsky, Jermuk 2009, the Armenian came up with his
innovation on move five! And five moves later he basically had a
winning position. What the bizarre opening moves 1.c4 g6 2.e4 e5
3.d4 have to do with the Grünfeld Defence was explained by Mihail Marin in CBM
126
(buy it now!); we reproduce here a shortened version of his article. Kamsky certainly
hadn’t had a look at Marin’s analysis – you better do it!
