comment: Resisting the temptation to take the queen: to deliver checkmate is even better.
context: 1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... g8f6  3. f3e5  3... d7d6  4. e5f3  4... f6e4  5. d2d4  5... d6d5  6. f1d3 Vachier-Lagrave's games are generally entertaining and important from a theoretical point of view. Fans of the king's pawn, the most classic and beautiful way to start a chess game, follow the games of the French GM with particular interest, since he is the perfect model of a modern player faithful to Bobby Fischer's favorite move. The Frenchman certainly admires the American genius, since his style is similar to his, including the openings. 6... f8d6 Nepomniachtchi's favorite move in the Petroff. 7. e1g1  7... e8g8  8. c2c4  8... c7c6 A critical position that Nepomniachtchi has been successfully defending at the highest level for some years now. 9. b1c3  9... e4c3  10. b2c3  10... d5c4  11. d3c4  11... c8g4  12. c4d3 A rare move. The natural reaction to the pin is to play h3 and then g4, chasing away the bishop. 12... b8d7  13. a1b1  13... b7b5 Black gains space on the queenside. 14. h2h3  14... g4h5  15. g2g4  15... h5g6  16. d3g6  16... h7g6  17. d4d5 A pretty straightforward idea that has been tried before at the GM level. 17... c6d5 Black has several options for a balanced game. 18. b1b5  18... d7b6 This move is new. 19. c1e3  19... d8c7  20. e3d4  20... f8e8 As usual, Black has other good paths. 21. d1d3  21... d6f8 A bit passive. 22. g1g2 Reinforcing the position. 22... a8d8  23. f1b1  23... e8e6  24. b5a5 Here Black's position is already difficult, as White has a clear plan to improve the position, which could be to bring the other rook to b5 or to advance the a-pawn. Although it's still possible to fight for equality with computer moves, the task is quite difficult during the game. 24... d8d7  25. b1b5  25... c7d8 Black doesn't have a clear plan, he can only try to hold on and wait to see White's intentions. 26. a5a6  26... d8c8  27. b5a5  27... b6c4 Trying to break free, but now White wins by force. 28. a6e6  28... c4a5  29. f3g5 Suddenly Black's king is caught in a mating net. 29... d7d6 Everything loses. 30. d3g3 A wonderful move, exploiting the attack on the h-file. 30... c8d8 Any capture on e6 loses. 31. e6e8 The coup de grace. 31... d8e8  32. g3h4  32... e8e4
