1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... e7e5  5. d4b5  5... d7d6  6. b1c3  6... a7a6  7. b5a3  7... f8e7  8. g2g3  8... g8f6  9. f1g2  9... b7b5  10. c3d5  10... f6d5 A logical novelty. It is always good to get rid of such a powerful piece. 11. e4d5 Now Black plunges the hole on d5 and gets a nice kingside  majority. 11... c6b8  12. e1g1  12... b8d7  13. c2c4  13... e8g8 Ignoring the "threat." 14. c4b5  14... a6b5  15. a3c2 If  anything, Nepomniachtchi will seize another power point in the enemy camp.  15... f7f5  16. c2b4  16... e7f6  17. b4c6  17... d8e8  18. a2a4  18... d7c5 Apparently, the world champion is playing for more than  equality. 19. c1e3  19... c5a4  20. d1c2  20... c8d7  21. b2b3  21... f5f4 This resource is always there to help Black  generate counterplay. The position is becoming extremely sharp now. 22. b3a4  22... f4e3  23. a4b5  23... a8a1  24. f1a1  24... f6g5 Activating sharpy at once. 25. b5b6 Nepomniachtchi has huge expectations about the future of that  pawn. But it turned out that the black passers are faster. 25... e3f2  26. g1h1  26... d7c8  27. a1f1  27... e8f7  28. c2e2  28... e5e4 It is all about the speed of the  passers. 29. h2h4 This is where Nepomniachtchi went wrong. 29... e4e3  30. h4g5  30... f8e8 A very cool move. Carlsen first supports the  passer and then wants to lift the blockade with either Bc8-a6! or Bc8-g4! 31. h1h2  31... c8g4 Lifts the blockade and promotes the pawn for free. 32. e2g4  32... e3e2  33. b6b7  33... f7b7  34. f1f2  34... e2e1q Here both players were playing with mere  seconds left on the clock but those proved enough for the world champion  to convert. 35. g4f5  35... e1e3  36. f2f3  36... e3e2  37. c6d4  37... e2e5  38. f5g4  38... b7d5  39. d4f5
