12. Qe3. On 12. Nxc6 Qb6 would give Black obvious compensation for the Pawn. 12. ... Qb6? “Actually today, 12. ... Qb6 was a real mistake somehow, after that move position is worse for Black, despite comp’s evaluation. 12. ... Nd7!! 13. Nxd7 Bd4! would equalize after 14. Qg3 Qxd7! and it seems that Black is doing fine”, then Radjabov said. 13. Bh6 Bh8 14. f4 a4 15. Rhf1 e6 16. g4 a3? Black deprives himself of any counterplay on the Queenside. Deserving consideration was 16. ... b4. 17. b4! Nd7 18. Nxd7 Bxd7 19. e5. Fabi fixes the centre before launching into the Kingside attack. 19. ... f5 20. Ne2 Bg7 21. Bxg7 Kxg7

cxb4. Also after 32. ... c4 33. d4 White must win. 33. Qd4 Bf5 34. e6! It is not so hard to find, but composes an artwork. 34. ... Rxg4 35. exf7 Rxd4 36. Ne8! 1 : 0. “Anyway an interesting game, not boring at all
