1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1c4 No surprises so far by both players. Nakamura  sticks to his classical Black strategy, as Carlsen searches for a small  opening advantage. 3... f8c5  4. c2c3  4... g8f6  5. d2d3  5... e8g8  6. e1g1  6... d7d5  7. e4d5  7... f6d5  8. a2a4  8... c8g4  9. h2h3  9... g4h5  10. a4a5  10... d5f6  11. b2b4  11... c5d6  12. b1d2  12... a7a6  13. d2e4  13... f6e4  14. d3e4 The opening is over, and  White got his slight advantage. Albeit symmetrical, White's position is  more pleasant, thanks to his more harmonious development. Especially  impressive is his light-squared bishop, whereas the white knight also has  better perspectives on the kingside. 14... g8h8 A useful move. One idea is to get his bishop back in the game after f7-f6. 15. d1d3 Carlsen also  breaks the pin in order to release his knight. 15... d8e7  16. f1e1  16... c6d8  17. g2g3  17... d8e6  18. f3h4 The difference in the knight's strength becomes  obvious. 18... a8d8  19. h4f5  19... e7f6  20. g3g4  20... h5g6  21. d3f3  21... h7h6  22. g1g2 The king is defending the queen, just in case. It is extremely  important to have all the pieces defended, especially in blitz and rapid. 22... e6f4 The right idea, but not the optimal execution. 23. c1f4  23... e5f4  24. f5d6 A neat trade. Black is forced to weaken his  pawn structure. 24... c7d6  25. c4d5 Carlsen's advantage grew. He still owns the better pieces, but he has also managed to completely destroy the enemy pawn chain. The  impression is that Black's position will collapse at any moment. 25... d8d7  26. a1d1 One last preparation. 26... f8e8  27. d5b7 Now he goes for it, but right now this blow is based on miscalculation. 27... d7b7  28. e4e5  28... f6e7  29. e5d6  29... e7d7  30. e1e8  30... d7e8 And oh, horror! It turns out that Nakamura  not only improved his rook, but he did so on the best possible file! 31. d1d4 Luckily, Carlsen still has a lot of compensation for the piece. 31... b7d7  32. f3f4  32... e8b8  33. g2g3 White decided to prepare the kingside advance in order to open  the enemy king. In the process though, he also weakens his own, and this  could have backfired. 33... f7f6  34. h3h4  34... h8g8  35. g3g2  35... g6f7 A nice maneuver to bring the bishop  to the optimal place. From here it both defends the black king and helps  attack the enemy one. 36. g2g3  36... f7e6  37. g4g5 Finally opening the kingside. 37... h6g5  38. h4g5  38... f6g5 Obvious, but not best. 39. f4e5  39... e6f7  40. f2f3  40... g8f8  41. g3f2  41... f8g8  42. f2g3  42... g8f8 The black king steps  behind a potential pin, and Carlsen can try something new now. 43. e5g5  43... d7d6  44. g5c5  44... f8e7  45. c5e5  45... e7d7  46. g3f2  46... b8f8 The decisive blunder! 47. e5f5  47... d7c6  48. f5c5  48... c6d7  49. c5f5  49... d7c6  50. d4d6 Picks up the bishop. 50... f8d6  51. f5f7  51... d6d2  52. f2g3  52... d2c3  53. f7e8  53... c6c7  54. e8e4 Centralization. White  should be winning, despite the multiple checks from his opponent's queen.  Carlsen confidently demonstrates the right idea. 54... c7d6  55. g3g4  55... c3a1  56. e4d3  56... d6e7  57. d3e3  57... e7f7  58. e3c5  58... f7g8  59. g4f4 That is the good plan. The king is moving towards  the queenside pawns. 59... a1d1  60. f4e5  60... g8h7  61. c5d5  61... d1a4  62. d5e4  62... h7h8  63. e5d6  63... a4b5  64. d6c7  64... h8g8  65. e4e6  65... g8h7  66. e6d6 Once again the  queen needs to be centralized. From here the most powerful piece does all  the work. 66... b5e2  67. f3f4  67... e2b5  68. d6c5  68... b5f1  69. c5h5  69... h7g8  70. h5d5
