1. e2e4  1... c7c6  2. d2d4  2... d7d5  3. e4d5  3... c6d5  4. f1d3  4... b8c6  5. c2c3  5... e7e6 This is historically not a very popular move. Usually, Black tries to develop the c8-bishop before playing e6. This move, however, was played by Carlsen and Caruana, among others. 6. c1f4  6... f8d6  7. f4d6  7... d8d6  8. g1f3  8... g8e7  9. e1g1  9... e8g8 The pawn structure resembles the London System. 10. f1e1 The rook now supports a knight move to e5 and also allows the Nd2-f1-g3 maneuver. 10... f7f6 A good move, avoiding Ne5 and preparing e6-e5. 11. c3c4 [%c_effect c4;square;c4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] After the slight weakness created by f6, this move becomes more attractive. 11... d5c4 The best move and also a novelty. 12. d3c4  12... e7f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Another good decision. 13. d4d5  13... e6d5 [%c_effect d5;square;d5;type;Mistake;persistent;true] White gets a clear advantage after this mistake. 14. c4d5  14... g8h8  15. b1c3 Anand probably underestimated the danger of this position. Even though the pawn structure is symmetrical, White has a healthy advantage with more active pieces. 15... c8d7  16. d1b3  16... d6c7  17. a1d1  17... a8d8  18. h2h3 These patient moves are always difficult to spot, and we should learn with them. White's advantage is not going anywhere, so Carlsen gives his king some useful room to breathe. 18... d7c8  19. b3a3  19... f5e7  20. c3b5  20... c7b6 This wins a pawn but gives Black some hope after the exchanges. There were many tempting moves for White. 21. b5a7 [%c_effect a7;square;a7;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 21... e7d5  22. a7c8  22... d8c8  23. d1d5  23... c8a8  24. a3b3  24... b6b3  25. a2b3 After this forced sequence, White remains a pawn up, but the b-pawns are doubled. Black has serious drawing chances. 25... f8f7 [%c_effect f7;square;f7;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true]
