German Bundesliga this weekend
Aronian Crushes Meier’s French

This weekend sees heavy action in the Bundesliga. For decades now the German Bundesliga has earned the reputation of being one of the strongest team championships – if not the strongest – in the world.
Caruana, Aronian, Anand and Vachier-Lagrave are only some of the big names in action this weekend in Berlin.
The game I give below is one of the shortest games played so far – just 24 moves. In it we see Aronian take apart Meier‘s French Defence, after the latter made a small but serious error. Black never got to castle.
