I’m impressed with Aronian.
I called it yesterday when I said Aronian could pull an upset!
Susan, the game link isn’t working. I was able to play over the first game but not this one.
Interestingly, Chessbase’s preview of the match:

shows them analysing at Wijk, with a position on the board that I think occurred in this game :).
