The capture  seems to develop only the white pieces. 11. d1d4  11... f8d6  12. c1b2  12... e8g8  13. b1c3  13... f8e8 Intending Bd6-e5 that Carlsen simply prevents: 14. c3d5 By entering a favorable endgame. 14... d6h2  15. g1h2  15... d7d5  16. d4d5  16... f6d5  17. f1d1 It is not clear what Caruana was  hoping for. The bishop is clearly better than the knight in the  asymmetrical position, and even if Black has a way to hold this, it is far from obvious (and painless against Carlsen!) 17... e8d8  18. a1c1  18... f7f6  19. d1d4 Carlsen takes care of the b4-square and threatens to  capitalize on the pin. 19... d5e7  20. c1c7  20... e7f5  21. d4g4 This move allows some further chances for Black. 21... h7h5 Caruana forces the rook to a delicate square. 22. g4g6  22... d8e8 Then fails to use it. 23. b2f6  23... e8e6  24. e3e4 Now it is all over for Black. 24... e6e4  25. g6g5  25... e4h4  26. h2g1  26... a8e8 Mate in one threat. 27. g2g3 Sufficiently good. 27... h4g4  28. g5f5  28... g7f6  29. c7b7  29... h5h4  30. f5f4  30... g4f4  31. g3f4  31... e8a8  32. g1g2 Next Carlsen improves everything he has: 32... a7a5  33. g2h3  33... a5a4  34. h3h4  34... a4b3  35. a2b3  35... a8a5  36. h4g4  36... a5d5
