For the moment, it seems as the world champion  might muddy the waters, however...
1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... d7d6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... g8f6  5. b1c3  5... a7a6  6. f1e2  6... e7e6  7. c1e3  7... f8e7  Black often delays this move in these Sicilians, trying to get some space  and play on the opposite wing first (or in the center.) 8. g2g4 A sharp  attacking continuation against the Scheveningen in the spirit of the Keres Attack.. 8... b7b5 A very risky move that the world champion executed  after more than 12 minutes spent on his clock. The last time this was  tried was back in 2016. 9. g4g5 Esipenko, in turn, plays quickly and confidently. 9... f6d7  10. a2a3 Played without any hesitation. It is far more important to  stabilize the center than to care for the g5-pawn. White is often  sacrificing it anyway whenever the opponent castles kingside, for  instance. 10... e7g5 Again hesitation. But what else ? 11. d1d2  11... g5e3  12. d2e3 For the pawn, the young Russian GM has a significant lead in the development and a lot of open files to work on. The pawns on d6 and g7 are particularly interesting for White. 12... d8h4 This is also hard  to explain. Carlsen is lagging in development, so why not develop pieces ? And who is going to defend the d6-pawn now ? 13. h1g1 Of course ! White is not afraid of losing the h2-pawn. 13... g7g6  14. e1c1  14... h4e7  15. f2f4 The central breaks are in the air. 15... c8b7  16. c1b1 A cunning move. White often does this prophylaxis in the Sicilian,  but here it is more venomous than it seems, and it sets a nasty trap. 16... b8c6 Carlsen falls for it ! 17. c3b5 That's it ! After the forcing... 17... a6b5  18. d4c6  18... b7c6  19. e3c3 which apparently Black missed, the world champion can already  resign on move 19. An exceptional case in his practice. 19... e8g8  20. c3c6  20... d6d5 Trying to complicate as much as possible. 21. e4d5  21... f8c8  22. d5d6 But Esipenko is very accurate. 22... e7d8  23. c6b5 This looks risky, but it was very carefully calculated. 23... c8b8  24. b5c4
