Semi-Tarrasch Defence D35

1. c4 e6 2. Nc3 d5 3. d4 Nf6 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4. In round seven, against the same opponent, Carlsen preferred 5. e3, and after 5. ... c5 6. Bd3 cxd4 7. exd4 Nxc3 8. bxc3 Qc7 9. Bd2 Nd7 10. Qg4 Nf6 11. Qg3 Qxg3 12. hxg3 Bd6 13. Nf3 b6 14. a4 Bb7 15. a5 Ke7 16. Ke2 Ne4 Black almost equalised, Carlsen – 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), 80th Tata Steel Chess Tournament, Wijk aan Zee 2018.
5. ... Nxc3 6. bxc3 c5 7. Rb1 Be7 8. Nf3 0-0 9. Bc4 Nc6 10. 0-0 b6 11. Be3. Anand is not curious to know what 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) had prepared herself for 11. d5 Na5 12. Bd3 c4 13. Bc2 exd5 14. exd5 Bb7 15. Re1 Bf6 16. d6 Re8 17. Rxe8+ Qxe8 18. Bf4 Rd8 19. Bf5 g6? (19. ... Qc6! 20. d7 g6 21. Bh3 Bxc3 22. Qe2 was a lesser evil) 20. d7 Qf8 21. Bh3 Be4 22. Rc1 Qc5 23. Qe2 Bf5 24. Rd1 Bxh3 25. gxh3 Kg7 26. Rd6! Bxc3 27. Ng5 Qf5 28. Qe7 h6 29. Ne6+ Kh7 30. Nxd8 Qxf4 31. Nxf7 1 : 0 Svidler – 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán), FIDE Grand Prix 2017, 3rd stage, Geneva 2017.
11. ... Bb7 12. Qe2 cxd4 13. cxd4 Rc8 14. Rfd1 Qc7 15. d5. If 15. Bb5 then 15. ... Rfd8 16. Rbc1 Qb8 17. Bd3 Nb4 18. Bb1 Rxc1 19. Rxc1 Rc8= 王玥 (Wáng Yuè) – 卢尚磊 (Lú Shànglěi), 13rd “映美杯” (“Yìng Měi Cup”) Chinese Chess League, 无锡 (Wúxī) 2017.
15. ... Ne5. The alternative was 15. ... exd5 16. exd5 Ne5 17. Bb3 (but 17. Bb5! would transpose into the actual game) 17. ... Nxf3+ 18. Qxf3 Bd6 with roughly equal play, Navara – Domínguez Pérez, 3rd Grand Chess Tour, 4th stage, Blitz Tournament, Saint Louis 2017.

16. Bb5! exd5 17. exd5 Nxf3+ 18. Qxf3 Bc5 19. Rbc1 Qe7 20. Bf4 Bd6

21. Bc6! Bxf4? This is a tremendous mistake that in fact loses the game. Black had obviously to play 21. ... Ba8(!) trusting the power of Her Majesty as a blocker (22. Bxd6 Qxd6) — but, sincerely speaking, no one should ask a Queen to turn herself into a Knight!
22. Qxf4 Bxc6 23. dxc6 Qc7. No better is 23. ... Qe6 24. c7 (intending Qf4-a4) 24. ... Qxa2 25. g3 and the c7-Pawn completely paralyses Black’s position. And, after all, 23. ... Rfd8 24. Rxd8+ Qxd8 25. c7 Qd7 26. h4 may be a little more resilient, but it cannot make much difference.

24. Rd6! Rcd8 25. Rcd1 h6 26. g3. No wonder Black will soon end up in zugzwang.
26. ... Rxd6 27. Rxd6 Rc8. 27. ... Rd8 28. Rxd8+ Qxd8 29. c7 Qd7 30. Qc4 Qc8 31. Qc6 also leads to a zugzwang-like position.
28. Qe5! b5 29. Qd5! Kh7 30. Qe4+ Kg8

31. Rd7! Qa5. 31. ... Qxc6?? 32. Rd8+! loses the Queen.
32. c7 Rf8 33. Qe7 1 : 0.

On the other hand, as was originally pointed out by Olavi, all daughters have... a mother:
