Sicilian Defence B41
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. c4 Nf6 6. Nc3 Bb4 7. Qd3!? Nc6 8. Nxc6 dxc6 9. Qxd8+ Kxd8 10. e5 Nd7. If 10. ...Ne4 then 11. a3! Bxc3+ 12. bxc3 Kc7 13. Be3 b6 14. Bd3 Nc5 15. Bxc5 bxc5 16. 0–0–0 with a lasting advantage for White, Flores Rios – Lemos, Villa Martelli 2008. 11. Bf4 Bxc3+ 12. bxc3 Kc7 13. h4! “I remember looking at 11. Bf4 and this h-Pawn push and it’s miserable for Black. Especially against Magnus, bizarre blunder today aside”, Garry Kimovich Kasparov said.
13. ... b6 14. h5 h6 15. 0-0-0 Bb7 16. Rd3! c5 17. Rg3 Rag8 18. Bd3 Nf8 19. Be3! “I’m pretty happy with the position I got out of the opening. He doesn’t have to play 19. ... g6, but anyway he can go something like ... Bb7-c6-e8, but it’s really not very nice”, Carlsen said afterwards. 19. ... g6 20. hxg6 Nxg6 21. Rh5! “21. Rh5! is impressive, mostly because most weaker Grandmasters like me would have wasted time with 21. Rh3 or 21. Rh4 by this point”, Jonathan Rowson tweeted. 21. ... Bc6 22. Bc2! Kb7 23. Rg4! a5 24. Bd1 Rd8 25. Bc2 Rdg8 26. Kd2?? “26. Kd2 must be a transmission error, right?”, joked Hikaru Nakamura.
26. ... a4?? Vishy misses the simple 26. ... Nxe5! as 27. Rxg8 is answered by the zwischenzug 27. ... Nxc4+ 28. Kd3 Nb2+ 29.
Ke2 Rxg8 and Black is nearly winning. 27. Ke2 a3 28. f3 Rd8 29. Ke1 Rd7 30. Bc1 Ra8 31. Ke2 Ba4 32. Be4+ Bc6? The losing move! The last chance was 32. ... Ka7!! 33. Bxa8 Kxa8 34. Bxa3 Rd1 35. Rxh6 Ra1 and, although Black is down the Exchange and two Pawns, it is not not clear at all that White may win... 33. Bxg6 fxg6 34. Rxg6 Ba4 35. Rxe6 Rd1 36. Bxa3 Ra1 37. Ke3 Bc2 38. Re7+ 1 : 0. “Shocking blunders... Vishy won’t be able to sleep tonight”, Fabiano Caruana tweeted.
