Скачать или смотреть King's Indian Defense: Carlsen vs. Aronian and the Curious 7...h6!?

The game is worth seeing for the following reasons/themes:
get to know more about the King's indian defense (classical or orthodox variation) as an opening,
check the new line when black plays an early h7-h6!
understanding of the position after e4xf5 as a reaction to the black's f7-f5 pawn push!
a typical middlegame pawn sacrifice for initiative (for Black) in the King's indian defence,
incredible tactical ideas and sacrifices throughout the whole middlegame phase!
