  1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. a3 Bxc3+ 5. bxc3 c5 6. e3 Nc6 7. Bd3 O-O 8. Ne2 b6 9. e4 Ne8!

a very important move to prepare f7-f5 and the knight will go back to f6 or d6. Black wants to play Ba6 pressuring c5. Magnus had played this against Giri and Anand in the last months so Hikaru was prepared.

  

  10. O-O Ba6 11. f4 f5! 

White to play

 

The game continued and Hikaru increased his advantage with Black. After his move 30..Nd2! we reached the following 

White to play

If white takes the knight 31 Nxd2 31..Qe3+ wins it back with attack against the king. Magnus pieces ( queen and rook) are too far to defend the lone white king. Magnus played 31 Rd8 but the following occured:31. Rd8 Nxf1 32. Qxf1 Qe3+ 33. Kh2 Re4
