The World Champion had White, but was unable to crack the defense of the challenger

Black: Sergey Karjakin 

White: Magnus Carlsen

Position after 21 Ke2. White has a better structure, but Black is very solid and can defend both wings. Magnus tried to make progress but Sergey held on easily.

Carlsen-Nakamura Wijk 2011 Key Variation Explained

Example of GM Carlsen Attack:

Carlsen again Nakamura in 2011  played 30g7! what are ideas behind this move ?

Position after 30 g7! - Black to move

Carlsen-Nakamura Wijk Aan Zee 2011

Nakamura tried 30..Be7 31 Rh6 Nf7 32 Qg6! and lost quickly.
A) Whatif Naka simply tried 30..Bxg7 in the diagram above ? Carlsen would play 31Nf5 Rc7 32 Nh6+ with discovery checks to follow winning the queen
B) What happens after 30..Nf731 gf8+ Kf8 32 Nf5 Qe5 and we reach position Analysis I

White to play and win - Position I

Solution below

________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________

33 Nh6!! leaving the queen en prise because of Rf7 with mate.

Position II after White's 33th move

33.. Rc7 34 Qg6! renewing the threat on f7 34..Qe6 35 Qh7! wins for White

The threat is Rhg1 and if 35..Ke7 36Re1! wins the queen on the e-column.


This is why Nakamura played 30..Be7 but lost anyway
