Why is this better than 12. Qd2 and how does it help White against the standard plan of Bb7, d5, 0-0-0 etc.?
For example: 12... Bb7 13. Bd3 d5 14. 0-0-0 Qb6 15. f3 0-0-0 and taking the f-pawn gets White into all kinds of trouble. Black has at least an equal position.

Chess Champ Hou Yifan in the Limelight — Levon Aronian's brilliant victory at the prestigious Tata Steel chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, would normally be the topic of our conversation. But it was a young Chinese girl, Hou Yifan, 17, who stole the limelight. The women's world chess champion shared first place at the powerful Tradewise Chess Festival in Gibraltar, one of the world's strongest open chess tournaments. Hou was in the lead going into the last round, but was caught at the last moment by Nigel Short. They both scored 8 points in 10 games and the English grandmaster grabbed the title in a blitz playoff. But Hou faced much tougher opponents. Facing six grandmasters rated above 2700 points - a barrier reserved for the best 40 chess players ...

I don't think 12 Qh5 makes much sense. Why relinquish pressure on the all-important d5 square? Fwiw, I also think this is a pointless exercise, as openings tend to go in and out of fashion through the years like women's clothing!

Levon Aronian shrugs off losses to triumph at Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee — Levon Aronian shrugged off an early loss to the chess world No1 Magnus Carlsen and a late defeat by a tail-ender to win first prize at Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee this week with impressive authority. The Armenian world No2's 9/13 total was a point clear of Carlsen, Teimour Radjabov, and the Italian 19-year-old Fabiano Caruana who shared second prize. The elite chess events which make up the chess equivalent of a Grand Slam include Moscow's Tal Memorial and the London Classic as well as Wijk. Aronian was subdued in London, but he tied first with Carlsen in Moscow and his overall rating is closing in on the Norwegian's. Aged 29 and at the height of his powers, Aronian would have been a good bet to capture ...

Low-key Aronian soars high in Wijk aan Zee chess tournament — Armenian GM Levon Aronian has added another chapter to a chess career that has been both illustrious and somewhat under the radar, capturing the 74th Tata Steel Grandmaster “A” Tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, Sunday by a full point over Norway’s Magnus Carlsen and Azerbaijan’s Teimour Radjabov. Despite a loss to Carlsen during the Category 21 event, Aronian won going away, notching a quick last-round draw to finish at a very impressive 9-4. The genial 29-year-old Aronian, ranked second in the world behind Carlsen, led his small country to gold in the 2006 and 2008 Chess Olympiads and to a World Team Chess title last year. He also has racked up a slew of firsts in elite chess events over ...
