1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 {Already a big statement of intent - Caruana is not to be
scared away from his reliable Petroff's Defence by the infamous Saint Louis
video tape showing his Petroff plans.} 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nd3 $5 {A weird move
which has only recently been revived - Alexander Motylev winning a game with
it against Miroshnichenko shortly before the match began - and will probably
now be buried. That Carlsen's team had not found anything better than this is
remarkable in itself.} Nxe4 5. Qe2 Qe7 6. Nf4 Nc6 $1 {There is nothing wrong
with} (6... c6 {but the text move, ignoring White's threat, is more desirable
- and, more importantly, playable, as computers have shown..}) 7. Nd5 Nd4 $1 {
[#] This trick, though not previously played, was already well known by many
top players so it is inconceivable that Carlsen and his team were not aware of
the idea. More likely he fancied his chances in the very slightly superior
endgame which ensues.} 8. Nxe7 {White has nothing else since the more obvious}
(8. Qc4 $2 {loses brilliantly to} Nc3+ $3 9. Nxe7 Nxc2# $1) 8... Nxe2 9. Nd5
Nd4 10. Na3 (10. Bd3 Nc5 $1 {is the point behind Black's play, after which} 11.
Nxc7+ Kd8 12. Nxa8 Nxd3+ 13. cxd3 Nc2+ 14. Kd1 Nxa1 {is roughly equal since
both knights will be lost.}) 10... Ne6 11. f3 {Finally ending a run of 10
knight moves in a row!} N4c5 12. d4 Nd7 13. c3 c6 14. Nf4 Nb6 15. Bd3 d5 {
"[The opneing is] very funny looking, but unfortunately it leads to a very
dull position, so the excitement is only for one move or so," said Caruana.
This position strongly resembles an Exchange French or one of the boring 5.Re1
lines of the Berlin Spanish, all lines having a drawish tendency.} 16. Nc2 Bd6
17. Nxe6 Bxe6 18. Kf2 h5 19. h4 Nc8 20. Ne3 Ne7 21. g3 {[#]} c5 $1 22. Bc2 {
"21...c5 was an attempt to break out, otherwise Black is very slightly worse,"
explained Carlsen. "Then I just got way too casual with 22.Bc2 and 23.Rd1. I
was just thinking in terms of the positional concept that I [should] put my
bishop on b3, as we are taught with a double isolani. [However] I wasn’t
even close to being in time and just a few moves later I was fighting for
equality. "I think that maybe it’s easier to be a bit careless with White,
as you always feel like you have more room for error. Today I was a bit
influenced by the fact that I had the white pieces; with Black I probably
would have played more carefully in the early middlegame."} (22. dxc5 Bxc5 23.
Kg2 d4 {also offers White nothing at all.}) 22... O-O 23. Rd1 Rfd8 24. Ng2 cxd4
25. cxd4 Rac8 26. Bb3 Nc6 {"The position was so sterile, I really shouldn't
have got anything," said Caruana.} 27. Bf4 Na5 28. Rdc1 Bb4 {[#]} 29. Bd1 $6 {
A move heavily criticised by Carlsen, who later felt that he should grovel for
a draw with} (29. Bc7 $1 Nxb3 30. axb3 Re8 31. Bf4 {when “I am very slightly
worse, but I should hold that any day of the week,” said Carlsen. The
exchange sacrifice} (31. Rxa7 $5 Re7 32. Rxb7 Ba5 33. Bxa5 {was also a
reasonable, though risky, way to reach equality.})) 29... Nc4 30. b3 Na3 31.
Rxc8 Rxc8 32. Rc1 Nb5 33. Rxc8+ Bxc8 34. Ne3 Nc3 35. Bc2 Ba3 $1 {The move
Carlsen had missed. Now White needs to be very careful to avoid simply losing
a pawn.} 36. Bb8 a6 {[#]} 37. f4 $2 {Now White's position becomes critical.
After} (37. Bd3 $1 Be6 38. Nc2 Bb2 39. a4 Na2 40. Bf4 $1 {, Black can secure
the bishop pair but the draw should still be within reach for White.}) 37...
Bd7 38. f5 Bc6 39. Bd1 Bb2 40. Bxh5 Ne4+ {A tough decision with little time on
the clock.} (40... Nxa2 41. Ba7 Nc3 $1 {was also very promising for Black.})
41. Kg2 Bxd4 42. Bf4 Bc5 $1 {"I thought this move will give him a very tough
decision," said Caruana, "whether to play something like 43.Nc2, and my d-pawn
becomes dangerous, or to go for [the piece sacrifice]."} 43. Bf3 Nd2 {[#]} 44.
Bxd5 $5 {Sacrificing a piece. "I didn't feel great about it," said Carlsen,
"but I don't know what I should have done.} (44. Nd1 {might hold but in
practice Black's bishops and d pawn will provide plenty of chances.}) 44...
Bxe3 45. Bxc6 Bxf4 46. Bxb7 Bd6 47. Bxa6 Ne4 48. g4 Ba3 $1 {Winning back one
of the pawns. "that was the second time in the game I’d missed a ...Ba3 idea,
" admitted Carlsen. "I thought I’d actually have three pawns, not two pawns,
so I thought it would be a fairly straightforward draw. When it turned out I
only had two pawns I was quite worried."} 49. Bc4 Nc3 50. g5 Kf8 51. b4 Bxb4
52. Kf3 {[#]} Na4 {The supercomputer Leela claimed a +3 advantage after} (52...
f6 53. Ke3 Bc5+ 54. Kf4 Ke7 55. Kg4 Bf2 {but as usual it is difficult to
understand why this should be so much better than the game, with similar
fortress possibilities.}) 53. Bb5 Nc5 54. a4 f6 55. Kg4 Ne4 56. Kh5 Be1 57. Bd3
Nd6 {[#]} 58. a5 $1 {Heading straight for a position which Carlsen believed to
be a fortress - "It's a good thing they exist, right?" he said after the game
when asked about his previous scepticism about genuinely unbreakable
fortresses.} Bxa5 59. gxf6 gxf6 60. Kg6 $1 Bd8 61. Kh7 $1 {[#] This is the
position Carlsen had played for. Black has many ways to try to break it down
but English endgame experts GMs Jon Speelman and Jonathan Mestel, who,
analysing in the press room, had foreseen this idea many moves ahead, believed
that White could hold.} Nf7 62. Bc4 Ne5 63. Bd5 Ba5 64. h5 {"I think when I
get Kh7 and h5 it’s an iron-clad fortress, unless I’m just hallucinating,"
said Carlsen.} Bd2 65. Ba2 Nf3 66. Bd5 Nd4 67. Kg6 $6 Bg5 68. Bc4 {[#]} Nf3 $6
{The computers claim a forced mate after} (68... Bh4 $1 {, by forcing White's
bishop to choose between covering g8 and e2. However even when presented with
the possibility, both players had trouble understanding why, suggesting} 69.
Bd5 {as the correct reply.} ({If} 69. Bd3 Kg8 $1 {and once the Black king is
in the corner the White king can be pushed out, while}) (69. h6 {fails to} Nf3

the less than obvious} Ng1 $1 {, which Kasparov joked would offer cause for
electronic scanning of Black for computer assistance! Once seen, the idea 70...
Ng1 71.Bg4 Kg8 is easy enough to work out - White eventually runs out of moves
and has to free the knight, which can then head to e5, freeing the Black king.
However the many humans analysing the position at the venue, including Judit
Polgar, could not work out why} 71. Bd5 $1 {did not keep the fortress intact.
The winning idea turns out to be amazing -} Bg5 $1 72. Kh7 $1 (72. h6 Ne2 $1

) 72... Ne2 $1 73. Bf3 Ng3 74. Bg4 Kf7 {[#]} 75. Kh8 $1 {[#] Now it seems as
if Black cannot prevent White's king from shuffling between h7 and h8 but once
again the computers have a surprise in store...} Bd2 $1 76. Kh7 Bb4 $3 77. Kh8
{As in most lines, pushing the h pawn will eventually lead to its loss.)} Bf8
$1 78. Kh7 Ne4 $1 {and suddenly White's king is in a mating net! Having been
shown the outline of the winning idea, Caruana commented, "At the end it still
seems a bit accidental. To find some accidental chance you have to be thinking
very hard about each move, and I had pretty much given up [hope] near the end
- I thought it was a fortress."}) 69. Kh7 $1 Ne5 70. Bb3 Ng4 71. Bc4 Ne3 72.
Bd3 Ng4 73. Bc4 Nh6 74. Kg6 Ke7 {A last try, but Carlsen has nothing to fear
even once the Black king reaches the back of the Whiite pawns.} 75. Bb3 Kd6 76.

white scores better by developing a piece and retaining the tension with Bf4.}

find the right idea. I probably should have retreated my misplaced Bishop with
18. … Be7! The point is after 19. Bc3 b5! white will end up with a
structural weakness and the light squared bishop will find a home on d5 in
some variations threatening to go to c4. An instructive line continues 20.

of relief when this move was played. He had a space gaining pawn center that
was making it difficult for my pieces to coordinate. When you have space your
supposed to make you center indestructible so your opponent has no counterplay
against it.However this move gives away his initiative and weakens his center,
exactly what you want to do when your drowning in space. The correct plan
would have been to defend his pawn that was attacked with 19. Ra1! defending
while taking over the a file, now 19. … Qxb5?? loses the exchange to 20. Ba3}

white pieces. Possibly better would be to exchange on b2 first, before my
opponent misplaces one of my pieces on f6.} (20... Bxb2) 21. Rfe1 (21. Bxf6

good put my opponent could have gotten rid of my best piece with 23. Bf1 this
logical move escaped our minds because it looks like it retreats a piece.} (24.
