1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... g8f6  4. b1c3  4... c7c6  5. g2g3 A popular gambit which White tried earlier as well. 5... d5c4 Firouzja accepts. 6. f1g2  6... b8d7  7. a2a4  7... f8e7  8. e1g1  8... e8g8  9. a4a5  9... f6d5  10. h2h4 White's hopes are related to a central/kingside expansion. 10... e7b4 A novelty, but a risky one. Without this bishop there are no defenders left at all around the black king. 11. c1g5  11... d7f6 Also risky. 12. d1c2  12... b4a5  13. e2e4 Now White's compensation is beyond obvious. 13... a5c3 The only move. 14. b2c3  14... d5e7  15. f3e5 For the two pawns, Carlsen has gotten an overwhelming position. Firouzja can barely develop his queenside; the extra pawns have no value at all. 15... b7b5  16. c2c1 White is not hiding his intentions of a kingside visit. 16... g8h8 A slim chance... 17. c1f4 True to himself, Carlsen follows his plan without any distractions. 17... e7g8  18. e5c6 This is also great for White, but now Firouzja finds a series of great moves. 18... d8b6  19. f4d6  19... c8b7  20. e4e5  20... b7c6 Excellent $1 21. g2c6  21... a8d8 Self-pinning is brilliant as it forces the trade of the queens $1 22. d6c5  22... b6c5  23. d4c5  23... h7h6  24. g5c1 White keeps the bishop away from the trade. 24... f6d5  25. c6b5  25... d5c3  26. b5c4  26... d8d4 Now Carlsen is winning again $1 27. c4a6  27... c3d5  28. c5c6 Until a certain moment, White does everything with his usual merciless endgame technique. 28... g8e7  29. c1a3  29... f8e8  30. f1c1  30... d5c7  31. a6f1  31... e7d5  32. a3c5  32... d4d2  33. a1a7  33... e8c8  34. c5d6  34... f7f5  35. e5f6  35... g7f6  36. f1h3 A natural move. 36... c7b5  37. a7d7  37... d5b6  38. d6f4  38... d2d7 The longer the game continues, the better the chances are for Firouzja. There is no increment, remember $2 39. c6d7  39... c8c1  40. f4c1  40... b6d7  41. h3e6 Objectively, White is still winning, but the time deficit will soon start to tell. 41... d7c5  42. e6c4  42... b5d6  43. c4f1  43... h8g7  44. c1a3  44... c5b7  45. f1g2 Hitting both knights simultaneously is the way to do it $1 45... d6c4 This is difference: the knights are running free again $1 46. a3c1  46... b7c5  47. g2f1  47... c4e5  48. g1g2  48... c5e4  49. c1b2  49... e4d6  50. f1e2  50... d6b7  51. f2f4  51... e5f7  52. g2f3 Carlsen is once again winning meticulously the game. 52... b7c5  53. f3e3  53... f7d6  54. g3g4  54... c5e6  55. b2a3  55... d6f7  56. e3e4  56... h6h5  57. e2c4  57... e6d8  58. g4h5  58... f7h6  59. e4d5 The game enters its most dramatic lightning speed phase. 59... h6f5  60. c4d3  60... f5h4  61. a3e7
