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.
