It was played first by Grischuk on the top level, and the Russian GM crushed him in a Titled Tuesday game. Caruana then checked the line and decided that it was worth playing. He liked the rising positions and despite the risk enjoys applying the line. Last year it was also played in a match for the world championship. 5... b4c3  6. b2c3  6... c7c5  7. f1d3  7... b8c6  8. a1b1 \"The opening choice was good. He looked quite surprised after this move.\" (Caruana) 8... d7d6 \"It's a very tricky modern opening line, and he played it in a fine way.\" (Caruana) 9. g1e2  9... e6e5 \"I was not very sure about this move.\" (Caruana) 10. e1g1  10... f8e8  11. f2f3  11... b7b6  12. e3e4 An over-the-board novelty. 12... c5d4  13. c3d4  13... c6d4  14. e2d4  14... e5d4  15. c1g5 \"I quite liked my position. It felt a bit more pleasant for White, no risk.\" (Caruana) 15... e8e5  16. g5h4  16... d8e7 Quite an unexpected move for White. 17. d3e2  17... e5a5  18. b1b3  18... c8a6 Now they enter an endgame, where Black seems to suffer without any activity. 19. d1d4  19... e7e5  20. f1d1  20... e5d4  21. d1d4 \"Nice endgame, I thought. Pressure forever.\" (Caruana) 21... f6e8 Now comes a beautiful rearrangement. 22. h4e1 [%c_effect e1;square;e1;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 22... a5c5  23. e1b4  23... c5c6  24. f3f4  24... a8c8  25. b3c3 White is in complete control; he can improve without any risk. Deac, on the other hand, had been in serious time trouble.
