The knight is moving towards the c2  square from where it can support the central break with d2-d4. 9... c8e6  10. a3c2  10... e8g8  11. e2e4 An important part in White's plan. 11... d8d3  12. f1e1  12... a8d8 The main reason for Black's problems. Choosing  the right rook to place on a file is an eternal problem for players at all levels. This rook seems to be more natural contender for the open file as  the other one can be quite useful on the kingside. However, there is a  minor tactical defect in the position which ruins this logic. 13. g2f1 Caruana frees himself in the center and gets better position. 13... d3d7  14. d2d4  14... e5d4  15. c2d4  15... e6g4  16. d1c2  16... c6d4  17. f3d4  17... f8e8 Sevian is developing naturally and occupies  the central files with his rooks. 18. a1c1  18... c7c6  19. b3b4 Minority attack is an effective way of creating  weaknesses on the queenside. 19... g8h8  20. b4b5  20... c6c5  21. d4f5  21... e7f8  22. h2h3  22... g4f5 Going into passive position. 23. e4f5  23... e8e1  24. c1e1 White has a clear plan of advancing his pawn all  the way to a5. Then his bishop will occupy the c4 square or will move to  the long diagonal; he has many ways to improve. Therefore, Sevian needs to search for counterplay at once. 24... c5c4 Practically sacrificing the  pawn. In return Black opens the diagonal for his bishop and gains some  activity for his rook. 25. a2a4  25... f8b4  26. e1e4  26... d7d2  27. c2d2  27... b4d2  28. f1c4  28... b6a4  29. b2a3 The endgame is extremely difficult for Black. The  bishops are outrageously powerful on an empty board. 29... a4b6  30. c4b3  30... b6c8  31. b3d5  31... a7a6 Black correctly tries to get rid of all the white queenside  pawns. 32. b5b6  32... c8b6  33. d5b7  33... a6a5  34. a3c5  34... b6a8  35. e4c4  35... d2b4  36. c5e3
