1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1c4  3... g8f6  4. d2d3  4... f8e7  5. e1g1  5... e8g8  6. f1e1  6... d7d6  7. a2a4  7... a7a5  8. b1d2  8... f6d7  9. d2f1  9... d7b6  10. c4b3  10... c8g4 A novelty, but seemingly not a  very good one. The bishop stands on the road of the white pieces and pawns and Vachier-Lagrave will win extra tempos for his kingside play. 11. c2c3  11... g8h8 Black is ready for f7-f5, but lacks the needed time. 12. f1e3  12... g4h5  13. g2g4  13... h5g6  14. e3f5 With solid advantage for White. 14... b6d7  Intending Nd7-c5-e6-f4. 15. d3d4 Looks very logical. 15... e5d4  16. c3d4  16... c6b4 Nepomniachtchi prepares the central  counter-strike d6-d5 which will free his pieces. 17. c1f4  17... d7f6  18. h2h3  18... d6d5  19. f5e7  19... d8e7  20. e4d5  20... e7d8  21. f3e5  21... f6d5  22. f4g3  22... a8a6 Another good maneuver by the Russian GM. The rooks get  into the game and Black levels the chances completely. 23. a1c1  23... f7f5 Thaks to his solid center Nepomniachtchi puts things in  order on the kingside as well. 24. c1c5  24... f5f4  25. g3h2  25... a6d6 Now it is even  better for Black. He has a clear target to aim on d4 and the white bishop  remained locked on the kingside. However.. 26. d1f3  26... b7b6  27. c5c1  27... g6e8  28. e1e2  28... d5e7  29. e2e4  29... d6d4  30. h2f4  30... e7g6 A step in the wrong direction. 31. e5g6  31... e8g6 Another mistake. 32. e4d4  32... d8d4  33. c1c7 Black might have forgotten that his back-rank is  weak. 33... h7h6  34. f4e5 This elegant move finishes the game. 34... f8f3  35. c7c8  35... h8h7  36. b3g8
