1. c2c4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... g8f6  3. b1c3  3... b8c6  4. d2d4  4... c5d4  5. f3d4  5... e7e6  6. a2a3 This is the second most popular move in this well-known variant of the English Opening. 6.g3 is the most played, but White has several other tries. 6... f8e7  7. e2e4  7... e8g8  8. d4f3  8... d8a5 A modern move, played several times by elite players. The idea is quite concrete: Black's queen heads to an exotic location on h5, from where it will support the d7-d5 advance. 9. c1d2  9... a5h5  10. h1g1 An interesting idea that was created in the laboratory of GM Giri, a player with phenomenal opening preparation. It has been played only once before, but both players were clearly well prepared. 10... d7d5 The critical test. 11. g2g4  11... f6g4  12. c4d5  12... e6d5  13. c3d5 Both players got into this position quickly, evidently relying on their respective computer's analysis. 13... e7c5  14. d1e2 An important move, defending the f2-pawn by tactical means, as well as setting up long castling. 14... f7f5 The best move, opening the game and securing a square for the queen on f7. 15. d5f4 Gukesh thought for a long time before playing this move. His preparation was either over or forgotten. 15... h5f7  16. g1g2 After this move it was Praggnanandhaa's time to think for a long time. He clearly didn't expect this move and there is a reason for this, as the computer shows decisive advantage for Black. Both 16.Ng5 and 16.0-0-0 are better moves and leads to very complex positions that will certainly be deeply analyzed by opening experts. 16... f7e7 Black misses the winning continuation. 17. e4e5 A deep move, sacrificing a pawn and not allowing black's pieces to activate. Furthermore, White will attack with the bishops on the a2-g8 and a1-h8 diagonal, with the support of the rook on the g-file. 17... c6e5  18. e1c1  18... c5d6  19. d2c3  19... e5f3  20. e2f3  20... c8e6  21. h2h3 That move almost throws away a sure win. 21... d6e5 He probably thought the position was just losing, but there is a miracle escape. 22. f4e6  22... e7e6  23. h3g4 White wins a piece, but the game still has some adventures. 23... e5c3  24. b2c3  24... a8d8  25. g4f5 A brave move, which shows how Gukesh confidence in his analysis. There is a much safer way to win. 25... d8d1 Now White wins easily. The critical moves are 25...Qb3 or 25...Qa2. In both cases only one move win. Gukesh, evidently, had seen it. 26. f3d1  26... e6a2 Now White is just a piece up and there are several winning methods. Gukesh has no problem converting the advantage. 27. f1d3  27... f8e8  28. g2g4  28... a2a3  29. c1d2
