Both players are slowing down at the end of the opening, although this position has already been tested in practice. 14. b5d7  14... b8d7 [#] 15. f1e3  15... c5e3  16. c1e3  16... d6d5  17. e4d5  17... f6d5  18. e3d2  18... c7c5 \"I played the opening in a terrible way as I often do in the Italian. I do not know why I keep playing it... I got a slightly worse position.\" (Caruana) 19. d1c2  19... d8c7  20. e1e2  20... e8e6 Indeed, in a reversed Maroczy-bind type of position Swiercz has extra space and the opportunity to build a kingside attack, whereas Caruana needs to sit passively and wait. 21. a1e1  21... a8e8  22. c2b1  22... d7f6 The knight is heading to the f4-square. The only problem for the second player is that he is making his moves far too slowly. This impractical approach will have dire consequences in the end. 23. f3h4  23... b7b6  24. h4f5  24... c7d7  25. f5h4  25... f6h5  26. g2g3  26... h5f6 A pity for Swiercz. 27. h4f3  27... e6e7 \"A dubious decision, which I understand. He wanted to release the tension because he had thirty seconds.\" (Caruana)
