The nightmare continues for Sasikiran. Now round 11 against Caruana, 15 moves theory sicilian scheveningen, and 5 moves later he's lost already!

And that's why Chess is so important. Its concepts can be applied to the formation and maintenance of the structure of a company, an army or a government. The pawn chain is the base network infrastructure which support the company or army pieces, eg. the workers, the planes, the soldiers, the tanks, in the battle field or in the market/politics..etc...

According to Nimzowitch, the pawn chain has an "inner energy or vitality" which is related to the interconnection of the pawns, its mobility and its capacity to restrict and blockade the enemy forces, and, at the same time, to support and promote the strong establishment and mobility of its own pieces. One must keep a very open eye since the very first move of the game on the resulting structure of the pawns (his and enemy's) after each move. If you concentrate your attention and analysis on the paw skeleton, if you think on the possible moves of your pieces as a function of the pawn chain, you will be prone to less errors and a more consistent game play.

Very nice analysis by Aronian. To me, a positional game reminder of Capablanca (with the help of a computer suggestion..) it seems it was clear that, as Aronian pointed out, missing of Bishop d7 was the main origin of black's difficulties, and I think that castles is the type of move based on positions defined by dynamics and mobility, but this position (and without the queens), was rather mainly based on rigid positional aspects of the pawn chain, and maybe Adams did not see the "yellow light" flashing because of the eminent collapse of the pawn structure.
