1. e4 { [%eval 0.10] Best by test. } 1... e5 { [%eval 0.15] } 2. Nf3 { [%eval 0.18] } Nc6 { [%eval 0.12] } 3. Bb5 { [%eval 0.20] The Ruy Lopez. } Nf6 { [%eval 0.15] As I predicted after the second game, the Berlin is back. } 4. O-O { [%eval 0.22] } Nxe4 { [%eval 0.18] } 5. d4 { [%eval 0.25] } Nd6 { [%eval 0.20] } 6. Bxc6 { [%eval 0.22] } dxc6 { [%eval 0.18] } 7. dxe5 { [%eval 0.25] } Nf5 { [%eval 0.22] } 8.

Rad1 { [%eval 0.20] } Be6 { [%eval 0.10] Some time ago a very strong GM revealed to me that this is the easiest equalizer for Black. } 13. Ng5 { [%eval 0.25] } Rh6 { [%eval 0.15] Black will trade on g5 but only once that he can kick away the annoying bishop. } 14. g3 { [%eval 0.30] } Bxg5 { [%eval 0.25] Now it is the right time as otherwise White will stabilize the situation. } 15. Bxg5 { [%eval 0.35] } Rg6 { [%eval 0.30] } 16. h4 { [%eval 0.40] The only chance to fight for the advantage is to sacrifice a pawn. } f6 { [%eval 0.35] } 17. exf6 { [%eval 0.40] } gxf6 { [%eval 0.35] } 18. Bf4 { [%eval 0.45] } Nxh4 { [%eval 0.40] } 19. f3 { [%eval 0.50] The pawn is gone, but Magnus wants to play Kg1-f2 and then attack on the open central files. } Rd8 { [%eval 0.45] } 20. Kf2 { [%eval 0.55] } Rxd1 { [%eval 0.50] } 21. Nxd1 { [%eval 0.55] } Nf5 { [%eval 0.50] } 22. Rh1 { [%eval 0.60] This is the important pawn White wishes to win. } Bxa2 { [%eval 0.00] ?! A risky grab! Black uses the moment when the knight blocks the rook to snatch another pawn. } 23. Rxh5 { [%eval 0.65] } Be6 { [%eval 0.60] } 24. g4 { [%eval 0.70] } Nd6 { [%eval 0.65] } 25. Rh7 { [%eval 0.75] } Nf7 { [%eval 0.70] The novelty. } 26. Ne3 { [%eval 0.80] } Kd8 { [%eval 0.75] } 27. Nf5 { [%eval 0.85] } c5 { [%eval 0.80] } 28. Ng3 { [%eval 0.90] } Ne5 { [%eval 0.00] !! Excellent defense! I am not sure if this was still prep but it looks very convincing. } 29. Rh8+ { [%eval 0.10] } Rg8 { [%eval 0.05] } 30. Bxe5 { [%eval 0.15] } fxe5 { [%eval 0.10] } 31. Rh5 { [%eval 0.20] } Bxg4 { [%eval 0.00] ! The point of Vishy's defense. The pawns on the kingside disappear. } 32. fxg4 { [%eval 0.05] } Rxg4 { [%eval 0.00] } 33.

Kd2 { [%eval 0.15] } Kc6 { [%eval 0.10] Technically speaking Magnus is a pawn up but it is a theoretical draw. } 38. Nc3 { [%eval 0.15] } a6 { [%eval 0.10] } 39.

Rf2 { [%eval 0.35] } Rh4 { [%eval 0.30] } 57. c4 { [%eval 0.35] Finally a white pawn moved but it can easily be attacked here. } Rh3 { [%eval 0.30] } 58. Kc2 { [%eval 0.35] } Rh7 { [%eval 0.30] } 59. Nb2 { [%eval 0.35] } Rh5 { [%eval 0.30] } 60. Re2 { [%eval 0.35] } Rg5 { [%eval 0.30] } 61. Nd1 { [%eval 0.35] } b5 { [%eval 0.30] } 62. Nc3 { [%eval 0.40] } c6 { [%eval 0.35] } 63.
