 Yes, it's a bit sad to watch. 5.a3 is not to be found in the books of my
 chessprograms, but the problem seems to be entering the position after
 14.f5. I think this position with white pawns on c4,d3,e4,f5 is quite easy
 to win for a human player of some strength. And van Wely would surely have
 done it with 30 min on the clock. Of course, it's just my opinion, but I have
 watched players with rating 1650-1700, striving for similar, closed positions
 and, after some attempts, succeeded to win vs computerprograms.
 White, as someone wrote, gets all the time in the world and black has no
 counterplay whatsoever. It becomes a one-way game.

 Thanks
