1. d2d4  1... d7d5  2. c2c4  2... c7c6  3. c4d5 The Exchange Variation of the Slav Defense is a solid option for White and suits Lazavik's positional style. 3... c6d5  4. b1c3  4... g8f6  5. c1f4  5... b8c6  6. e2e3  6... a7a6 One of Black's most combative options. 7. a1c1  7... c8f5  8. g1f3  8... e7e6  9. d1b3  9... a8a7 A strange but thematic move. The rook is on a terrible square, but the pawn is defended. 10. f1e2  10... f8e7  11. e1g1  11... f6d7 Protecting the queenside and preparing the pawn advance on the other flank. 12. c3a4  12... g7g5  13. f4e5 A good practical choice. 13... e8g8 A new move and not in accordance with the position. This is clear evidence of Carlsen's bad form on the first day. 14. e5g3 Time to go back. After castling, Black's attack with h5 doesn't work so well, since the rook is poorly placed for such an endeavor. 14... h7h5  15. h2h3  15... g5g4 Carlsen keeps pushing forward, but this weakens his kingside too much.
