Now comes the elegant finish.
1. e2e4  1... c7c6  2. d2d4  2... d7d5  3. e4e5  3... c8f5  4. g1f3  4... e7e6  5. f1e2  5... b8d7  6. e1g1  6... f5g6  7. c2c3  7... g8h6  8. a2a4  8... a7a5  9. b1a3 A good maneuver and a novelty! The knight is heading to the  d3 square, from where it will have a decent choice between further  improvement on the queenside with Nd3-c5, or the kingside with  Nd3-f4-(h5). 9... f8e7  10. a3c2  10... e8g8  11. c2e1  11... c6c5  12. c1h6 Now is the moment. Normally, Black does  not fear this weakening, as he gets the bishop pair and eventually may  counter-attack on the dark squares with f7-f6. 12... g7h6  13. e2b5  13... c5d4  14. c3d4  14... d7b8 A French maneuver. It seems as the knight is heading to the  c6 square to attack the d4 point. 15. d1d2  15... g8g7  16. e1d3  16... b8a6 However, it  changes its mind and settles for the b4 spot. 17. d3f4 Both sides have clear playgrounds. White should attack on the  kingside not because of the weaknesses there, but due to his better  center. Black needs to keep the opponent's pieces as busy as he can- this  is what the c-file is all for. 17... d8b6  18. h2h4  18... f8c8  19. f1c1  19... c8c1  20. a1c1  20... a6b4  21. g2g3 Yu sets his knight free. He intends to attack the most  vulnerable point in Black's camp after Nf3-h2-g4. Apparently White's  kingside initiative is worth more than what Black is doing on the other  wing. 21... b4a2  22. c1d1  22... a8c8  23. f3h2 Following his plan. 23... b6c7  24. b5d3  24... h6h5 Forced, but good. Artemiev is about to demonstrate perfect  defensive skills. 25. g3g4  25... a2b4  26. d3g6  26... h7g6  27. g4h5  27... c7c2 The idea behind the sacrifice. Anytime Black  make it to the endgame he will have enough compensation thanks to the open file. 28. h5g6  28... c2f5 Bringing the navy seals to resque. 29. d2e3  29... f7g6  30. e3g3  30... c8f8 Now Black takes over the initiative, even in the middlegame. 31. f4g2  31... f5c2  32. g2e3  32... c2e4  33. e3g4 Close to the time control the Chinese GM decided  to risk. 33... b4c6 Now the key d4 pawn is about to drop. 34. g3e3  34... f8f4  35. g4f6 The best practical chance. 35... e7f6  36. e5f6  36... g7f6  37. e3e4  37... f4e4  38. h2f3  38... c6e7  39. g1g2  39... e7f5  40. d1d3  40... f5h4  41. f3h4  41... e4h4 Time control passed, Artemiev is up a pawn  and has more active pieces. Plus, impeccable technique. 42. g2g3  42... g6g5  43. g3g2  43... h4e4  44. g2g3  44... f6f5  45. g3g2  45... g5g4  46. g2f1  46... b7b6 Little moves like these are  a sign of a great endgame player. Artemiev knows his opponent has nowehre  to go and improves every little bit before forcing matters. 47. f1g2  47... e4e1 Excellent! The rook is activated and the e4 square opened for the  king. 48. b2b3  48... f5e4  49. d3d2  49... e1b1
