1. e2e4  1... e7e5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1b5  3... g8f6  4. d2d3  4... f8c5  5. c2c3  5... e8g8  6. b1d2  6... d7d6  7. e1g1  7... c5b6  8. b5c6 Choosing  to play the grinding game. 8... b7c6  9. h2h3  9... c8a6  10. d1c2 White needs to protect the d3 pawn. 10... c6c5 This is a novelty. Radjabov wants to open some room for  his dark-squared bishop. 11. f1e1  11... h7h6  12. d2f1 Black's bishops are tamed and Vachier-Lagrave has the  time to transfer his knight to a more comfortable position. 12... f8e8  13. f1g3  13... d8d7  14. c1e3  14... c7c6  15. a1d1 No rush at all. This is how you play it when you have the  horses. 15... d7e6  16. b2b3  16... a8d8  17. f3h4 Now the White's knights can't be stopped from landing on f5. 17... d6d5 That is not an attacking setup! The black center is in fact  vulnerable. 18. c3c4 Finally landing into Nimzo-Indian waters, with colors reversed. White's pawns are perfectly located and his primary task is to  force the center fixation. 18... d8d7  19. h4f5 This is far more dangerous than it seems. 19... e8d8  20. c2c1 \"A nasty move.\" (Vachier-Lagrave) Black's position is already very, very bad. 20... a6b7  21. e3h6  21... g7h6  22. c1h6  22... f6e8  23. h6g5  23... g8f8 More or less forced. 24. g5h4  24... f7f6 Best defense. 25. e1e3  25... e6g8 Once again the best defense by Radjabov. 26. h4h6  26... f8f7  27. h6h5  27... g8g6 Played with only about fifteen seconds on the clock (according  to MVL). Radjabov misses an important detail. 28. f5h6  28... f7g7  29. g3f5  29... g7h7  30. h5e2 This nasty retreat was missed by  the Azeri GM. 30... d7g7 Black sacrifices the queen and never gets enough for it. 31. e3g3  31... g6h6  32. f5h6  32... h7h6  33. d1f1 White has just too many pawn and the  insecure black king does not help him either... 33... b6c7  34. e2e3  34... h6h7  35. g3g7  35... h7g7  36. e3c5  36... d5e4  37. c5a7
