His opponent here was an even less known master. Incidentally as an asside and an incredible coincidence I was searching a database of 6 million games from history, for games by Aronin and i got a list of about 200 games, I was bowled over when i saw that one of my very own games, was included in the list, against maybe a relation, called P. Aronin in 2007.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 4. d4 Bd7 5. Nc3 exd4 6. Nxd4 { this opening is the Steinitz Defence to the Ruy Lopez.} g6 7. O-O Bg7 8.
