This is also a common idea against  the Sicilian, successfully applied by Adams. The only difference is that  in the Sicilian, White swaps the knight in order to support his d4-pawn.  Here Caruana stabilizes the central situation and looks for a successful  blockade. 10... b7c6  11. d4c5 An important move in White's plan. The pressure  against the c6-pawn forces Firouzja to make an important decision. 11... e6d7 Alas, that is not what the position requires. 12. c1e3  12... e7e6 Blocking his own bishop. 13. c3a4  13... h6f5  14. e3f2  14... h7h5  15. c5c3 Caruana's opening choice is a success. The blockade on the dark squares means that the black bishop pair will not see the light. White is better on both flanks. 15... c6c5 The best practical chance. The bishop gets some air at least. 16. a4c5  16... e8g8  17. e1g1  17... d7b5  18. f1e1  18... d8e7 Caruana next consolidates his advantage. 19. a2a4  19... b5c6  20. b2b4  20... f8c8  21. c3d2  21... c6e8  22. c2c3  22... a7a5  23. h2h3  23... g7f8  24. g1h2  24... e7c7  25. g2g4  25... f5g7  26. e1g1  26... a5b4  27. c3b4  27... d5d4 One more pawn sacrifice. The bishop is finally  out on the long diagonal. 28. f2d4  28... c8d8  29. c5e4  29... e8c6  30. a1c1  30... c7b7  31. e4f6  31... g8h8  32. f4f5 The start of the decisive attack. 32... g7e8  33. f5g6  33... c6f3  34. g4h5  34... f7g6  35. h5g6  35... f8g7  36. d2f4 The road towards the black king is opened, and  Firouzja has to part with loads of material:
