Carlsen played an english 1 c4 and Nakamura played 1..e5
First key moment
Magnus has the advantage here. Black has a weakness on d4 and the knight can jump around on e4,d6 while the black bishop has no target. Hikaru defended quite well from here
Second key moment : White to play
Magnus attacked the Bishop on g5 by playing Rb5 in the previous move. Hikaru played 30..Kg6 leading the diagram above. Can you guess the next move ?
Magnus played 31 f4 which must taken otherwise f4-f5+ wins. Therefore 31..gf3 32 Kf3 led to White pressing as Magnus created space around his king reducing Black counterplay. White will win b6 and b7 shortly.
Third key moment : White to play and win
Here Hikaru played 67..Kf4 and has been defending for 30+ moves. He thought he was close to holding as he planned to answer 68 Rg5 by 68..Re1+ King moves and 69..Bxh4
He also saw 68 Nxg3 Rg2+ to shield the white king and then take back the knight on g3.
However, Magnus played here a brilliant move securing the win. Can you guess the move ( white to play ) ?
