b6 {White has damaged the pawn structure by doubling c pawns. Black has the
bishop pair} 15. c4 Kb7 16. Bf4 Rd8 (16... g5 $1) 17. Rd2 g5 $1 {an excellent
move as the bishop on f4 is restricted by his own pawn} 18. Bh2 Ng7 19. Rad1

h4 Rhd8 {Carlsen has a better position. The bishop on g3 is passive and cannot
really participate into the action. Black is attacking d5 and can continue to
put pressure by the pawn break b6-b5.} 23. b3 b5 $1 {not a lot of options for
White.} 24. Kf1 a5 $1 {creating more targets in white's position} 25. Ke2 a4 $1

(29. gxh6 Rxb3+ 30. Rd3 Bxh6+) 29... hxg5 {the main problem with White's
position is the bishop on g3. the second problem is that Black can target c4
and b3} 30. Nd2 bxc4 $6 (30... Nd4 $1) 31. Nxc4 (31. bxc4 Rxd3+ 32. Kxd3 Bxd5
