Ilya Shikshin (roln111 on KGS) was so aggressive in the past. His Go is changing a lot recently.
Here is an example.
White 30 is usually played at C9, but he decided to make 2 space extension, which is very-very solid, but slow.
I believe it's not a mistake - just a matter of style.
Another example of solid play is W26.

We will see can he show better results by playing peacefully soon - he will take part in Russian Open on July 4-5.
