[ For the experimental alternative: 10...h5 X21 11.Kb1 X22 Qc7 X23 12.Bd3 X24 b5 X25 13.Bg5! X26 see: Svidler, Peter-Topalov, Veselin, 0-1, (B90), Corus 2007 (11).]

11.g4 X27 b4 X28 12.Nd5 X29

[ White disposes of another recent strategic line: 12.Ne2 X30 a5 X31 13.Kb1 X32 h6 X33 14.Ng3 X34 a4 X35 15.Nc1 X36 d5! X37 16.Nf5 X38 Bxf5 X39 17.gxf5 X40 d4 X41 18.Bf2 X42 0-0= X43 Svidler, Peter (2735) - Sokolovsky, Emil (2697), 1-0, (B90), Calvia ol. (Men), 2004. ]

12...Bxd5 X44 13.exd5 X45 Nb6 X46 14.Na5 X47 Nbxd5 X48

[ May possibly lead to the draw: 14...Nfxd5 X49 15.Nc6 X50 Qc7 X51 16.Nxb4 X52 Nxb4 X53 17.Qxb4 X54 Rc8 X55 18.Bd3 X56 Nc4 X57 19.Qa4+ X58 Qc6 X59 = Karjakin, Sergey - Ponomariov, Ruslan, ½-½, (B90), Tomsk, Izmailov mem 10th, 2006]

15.Nc6 X60 Qc7 X61 16.Nxb4N X62

Effectively a novelty in this position; but nevertheless not a new idea, because this retort has been played, for example by Ponomariov, in a very similar configuration.

[ The known alternative is: 16.Nxe7 X63 Nxe3 X64 17.Qxe3 X65 Kxe7 X66 18.h4 X67 Rhc8 X68 19.Rh2 X69 Qc5 X70 20.Qd3 X71 a5 X72 =/+ Van der Weide - Borovikov, Viktor, ½-½, (B90), Senden, Muensterland op. (8), 2006.]

16...Nxb4 X73 17.Qxb4 X74 0-0 X75 18.g5 X76 Rfc8 X77 19.Qa4 X78 Rab8! X79 20.Bd3 X80

[ Karjakin sacrifies his Knight, but this one is inviolable: 20.gxf6?? X81 Rb4! X82 21.Bb6 X83 Qxb6 X84 22.Qa3 X85 -+]

20...Nd7 X86 21.Qe4 X87 g6 =/+

It is obvious that Black, controling both open files b and c, disposes of strong threats; specially the c2-square is a soft spot and may be considered as the Critical point of this position... and, in fact, of all this phase of the game.

X88 22.Bxa6 X89 Rb4! X90

Unacceptable Deviation sacrifice!

23.Qd3 X91

[ Horrific is: 23.Qxb4?? X92 Qxc2# X93 ]

23...Rcb8! X94

The only move strengthening the Black' s threat.

[ Ineffective is the alternative: 23...e4? X95 24.fxe4 X96 Rcb8 X97 25.b3 X98 Qa5 X99 26.Bc4 X100 Ne5= X101 ]

24.b3 X102 Nc5 X103 25.Bxc5 X104 Qxc5 X105 -/+

By this last exchange, Sergey Karjakin increases his pressure on White' s formation.

26.Qd5 X106

The only defensive choice!

26...Qa7! X107 27.Bc4 X108

All last White' s moves are forced.

27...Bxg5+ X109 28.Kb2 X110 Ra4 X111 29.a3 X112 Ra5 X113 30.Qe4 X114 -+

[ White goes quickly to its loss while launching out in the combination: 30.Qxd6 X115 Be7 X116 31.Qd7 X117 Bxa3+ X118 32.Kb1 X119 Rb7 X120 33.Bxf7+ X121 Kg7 X122 34.Be6+ X123 Kf6 X124 -+]

30...Be3! X125

Clearly a winning move.

[ A strong alternative seems to be: 30...Kg7!? X126 31.h4 X127 Be3 X128 32.Rxd6 X129 Qc5 X130 33.Ra1 X131 Bd4+ X132 34.Rxd4 X133 exd4 X134 35.Qd3 X135 Qd6 X136 36.b4 X137 Rf5 X138 -+]

31.c3?? X139

A significant mistake, precipitating the end.

[ At all events, Black wins easily after: 31.Rxd6 X140 Bc5 X141 32.Rd5 X142 Bxa3+ X143 33.Kb1 X144 Bc5 X145 34.Qxe5 X146 Ra8 X147 35.Kb2 X148 Ra1 X149 36.Rdd1 X150 Ra2+ X151 37.Kc3 X152 Bb4+ X153 38.Kd3 X154 Rd8+ X155 39.Ke4 X156 Bd2! X157 -+]

31...Rxa3 X158 32.Ra1 X159

[ White loses quickly by playing: 32.Kc2 X160 Ra2+ X161 33.Kd3 X162 d5! X163 -+]

32...Ra8!

This last Karjakin' s move is decisive.

0-1
