1. g1f3  1... g8f6  2. g2g3  2... g7g6  3. f1g2  3... f8g7  4. e1g1  4... e8g8  5. c2c4  5... c7c6  6. b2b3  6... f6e4  7. d2d4  7... d7d5  8. c1b2 An opening system that leads to positional play and a technical position that appeals to both players. By the way, Carlsen and Artemiev have a very similar style of play. 8... a7a5 The plan with a5-a4 is typical in these positions. Black has other viable alternatives. 9. b1c3  9... e4c3  10. b2c3  10... b8d7  11. c4d5 This is a debatable decision since Black's position is a little freer now. 11... c6d5  12. a1c1  12... d7f6  13. f3e5  13... f6e4  14. c3b2  14... c8f5 Black has no problems. All of his pieces are well developed and the a5-a4 break can bother White. 15. e2e3  15... f8e8 This move isn't bad, but it's a little mysterious. Perhaps the idea is to avoid a knight leap to d7 after the queen goes to b6. 16. a2a4 A good move, preventing a5-a4. 16... d8b6  17. b2a3 [%c_effect a3;square;a3;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] This is inaccurate. 17... a8c8 [%c_effect c8;square;c8;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Black is not worried about the e7-pawn. 18. g2e4 [%c_effect e4;square;e4;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 18... c8c1 [%c_effect c1;square;c1;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 19. d1c1  19... f5e4  20. f2f3  20... e4f5  21. g3g4  21... e8c8 [%c_effect c8;square;c8;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] After this move Carlsen gets good drawing chances in a rook endgame. 22. a3c5  22... b6c7  23. g4f5  23... g7e5  24. d4e5  24... c7c5  25. c1c5  25... c8c5  26. f5f6  26... e7f6  27. e5f6  27... c5c6  28. f1d1  28... c6f6  29. d1d5 [%c_effect d5;square;d5;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] 29... f6f3  30. d5a5  30... f3e3  31. a5b5  31... e3e7 This is much more difficult for White to defend, although the computer still claims a draw. The players were in big time trouble at this point, so it was impossible to play correctly. 32. b5b6 [%c_effect b6;square;b6;type;Mistake;persistent;true] This is a bad square for the rook. 32... g8g7  33. a4a5  33... f7f5  34. b3b4  34... g7h6 Black's position is winning now. 35. g1f2  35... h6h5 [%c_effect h5;square;h5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 36. b4b5  36... g6g5  37. a5a6  37... b7a6  38. b5a6  38... e7e5 [%c_effect e5;square;e5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] The classic rule \"place the rook behind the passed pawn\" applies here. 39. a6a7  39... e5a5  40. b6b7  40... h7h6  41. b7h7  41... h5g6  42. h7b7  42... a5a3  43. b7c7 The only thing left is to advance the passed pawns. But the adventures are not over. 43... f5f4 [%c_effect f4;square;f4;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 44. c7b7 [%c_effect b7;square;b7;type;Mistake;persistent;true] Missing a golden chance. 44... g6h5  45. b7h7  45... h5g6  46. h7b7  46... g6f5 [%c_effect f5;square;f5;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 47. b7h7 [%c_effect h7;square;h7;type;Mistake;persistent;true] 47... a3a2  48. f2f1  48... f5g6  49. h7b7  49... g6h5
