1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1c4  3... f8c5  4. d2d3  4... g8f6  5. c1g5 A relatively rare  continuation. White usually waits for his opponent to either castle first  or block his dark-squared bishop with d7-d6. 5... c5e7 Karjakin kills  the pin at once. 6. b1c3  6... d7d6  7. a2a4 Saving the bishop from the positional threat Nc6-a5 with  a swap of the minor pieces. 7... e8g8  8. h2h3  8... c8e6 Black is obviously not  afraid to double his e-pawns. They cover all the important central  squares. On top of that, the f-file would be opened for the black rooks. 9. g5f6 Finally the bishop is traded as it is not quite useful on g5. 9... e7f6  10. c4e6  10... f7e6  11. c3e2 Antipov prepares an interesting  regrouping of his pieces. 11... d8d7  12. c2c3  12... f8f7  13. h3h4 For the time being, White does not want to  castle on the kingside. Instead, he intends to bring his rook out via the  h3-square. 13... a8f8 Karjakin's play is obvious and easy to understand. He is  consistently improving his pieces and would not mind if the white king  castles into his attack. 14. b2b4  14... g8h8 Black is not impressed by the enemy  queenside expansion. 15. a1a2 Overprotecting the f2-pawn. 15... f6d8 A nice regrouping by Black. He is getting ready to exploit the shift of most white pieces from the center and the queenside. 16. e2g1 A weird setup. 16... c6e7  17. f3g5  17... f7f6  18. e1f1 Intending to castle by hand with g2-g3 and Kf1-g2,  but Karjakin is prepared for the opposite-flank play. 18... c7c5  19. b4c5  19... d6c5  20. g5f3  20... e7c6 The white pawns became weak and will be soon  targeted. 21. a2d2  21... d8a5  22. d1b3 Solidifying the flank. 22... a7a6  23. d2d1 The rook moves out of the pin. 23... h7h6  24. h4h5 There is not much that White can do on the kingside. 24... h8h7  25. b3c4  25... d7d6 Now Karjakin prepares the decisive queenside  breakthrough. 26. g1e2  26... f8b8  27. d1b1  27... a5c7  28. h1h3 It is all ready for the b-pawn advance. 28... c6a5  29. c4a2  29... b7b5  30. a4b5  30... a6b5
