The idea, I think, is to remove White's option to move the bishop to the g5-square. 8.Be3 is not attractive now due to 8...Ng4. Apart from that, the h7-square can be useful for the knight when preparing the typical f5-break, as we will see in the game. 8. f1e1  8... b8d7  9. e2f1  9... b7b6 [%c_effect b6;square;b6;type;Interesting;persistent;true] An extremely rare move. 10. d4d5 Maybe White should wait a little longer before closing the center. 10... a7a5  11. g2g3  11... d7c5  12. f1g2  12... f6h7 Preparing the typical action derived from this pawn structure. 13. c1e3  13... f7f5  14. e4f5  14... g6f5  15. f3h4 Both sides were probably happy with this position since it was later played again in the match. 15... d8f6  16. g1h1  16... e5e4  17. c3b5  17... c5d3  18. e1f1  18... f6b2  19. a1b1 Only here Gukesh deviated and chose 19... b2a2  20. b5c7  20... a8a7  21. c7e6  21... c8e6  22. d5e6  22... a2c4 Both players navigate the complications very well. 23. e6e7  23... a7e7  24. h4g6  24... e7f7  25. g6f8  25... h7f8 The position is totally chaotic. It's impossible to play it well, even in a classical game—now imagine doing it with only one minute on the clock. 26. b1b6  26... a5a4  27. b6d6  27... a4a3  28. e3h6  28... g7e5  29. d6d8  29... a3a2  30. d1h5 [%c_effect h5;square;h5;type;Mistake;persistent;true] This is a losing mistake. 30... d3f2 [%c_effect f2;square;f2;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 31. h1g1  31... c4c5 [%c_effect c5;square;c5;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] It's amazing how resourceful both players are with so little time on the clock. 32. h2h4  32... f2g4  33. g1h1  33... g4h6 [%c_effect h6;square;h6;type;Mistake;persistent;true] After this mistake, the game is even again. 34. h5h6  34... a2a1q  35. h6g5  35... f7g7  36. g5f5  36... a1a3 Positions with more than two queens on the board are always exciting. 37. f5e6  37... g8h8 [%c_effect h8;square;h8;type;Mistake;persistent;true] A blunder.
