19. Rad1 Nb6 20. c4 $1 {That is the correct way to attack this structure.
White is already better.} bxc4 21. Nxc4 Nxc4 22. Bxc4 h6 23. dxe5 dxe5 24. Bc3
{The pawn on c6 is weaker than b4 and Black has a bad bishop on b7.} Ba6 25.
Bb3 c5 26. Qb2 c4 27. Ba4 Re6 28. Nxe5 Bb7 29. Bc2 {White is clearly better
after} (29. Bb5 $1 {the point is that Black cannot retake the pawn.} Bxe4 30.

material.} Bxg2 35. Rg4) 33. Qxc2 Bxc2 34. b5 {The b-pawn will cost Black a
piece.}) 29... Rae8 30. f4 Bd6 {now Black has counterplay and the position is
about even.} 31. Kh2 {A very strange move considering the position of Black's
queen and bishop.} (31. Re3) 31... Nh5 $1 32. g3 f6 33. Ng6 {Magnus said that
Karjakin played this both quickly and with quite a bit of confidence, and
added he was not really sure what Sergey saw, but clearly something had gone
horribly wrong in his calculations.} Nxf4 $1 {Carlsen finds the best way and
Karjakin is forced to play} 34. Rxd6 (34. gxf4 Bxf4+ {black has a winning
attack.} 35. Kh1 (35. Nxf4 Qxf4+ 36. Kh1 Qg3 37. Re2 Rxe4) 35... Rxe4 36. Bxe4

Another mistake. White should bring his queen to defend the king.} (36. Bb1 h5

(39. Be4 fxe4 40. Re3 {was the only defense and Carlsen should win in the long
run.}) 39... Qd5 {Now it's over. Black has attack and a passed distant pawn to
disturb White's pieces.} 40. Bxf5 Rxe5 41. Bg4 h5 42. Bd1 ({Though it would
not change anything in the result, Carlsen said he had hoped Karjakin might
play} 42. Rd1 {when he would finish in beauty with} Qxd1 $3 43. Bxd1 Re1 {
threatening mate with Rh1.} 44. g4 h4 {and White can only defend by giving
back the queen with} 45. Qg2 Bxg2 46. Kxg2 Rxd1) 42... c3 43. Qf2 Rf5 44. Qe3
