23.Na5?! Up to this moment, the great

white whipped up the pressure, but now

miss the opportunity to tactical prick in-

crease the advantage. [After 23.B:f5! it

seems that the white pieces dangerous

hang in the air, but the specific calculation

shows that everything is in order. Daring

bishop immediately cannot be taken, then

he with the tempo will take key field e4,

giving his army surplus material and win-

ning position] 23...Qc7 24.Qe2 h6 25.Nc4

On board a well-known variation of

French defence. Already see the outlines

of the future endgame, which promises a

long maneuvering using the finest nuanc-

es. Along the way there is only one little

trap - and suddenly Veselin Topalov falls

apart in the net. Perhaps he had some of

his ideas on the subject, but the 12-th

move of Sergey Karjakin applies an im-

portant novelty, solving the outcome of the

game in his favor. 10...d4? [Usual way is

deficit, on the white side are excellent

chances. He can systematically prepare

the attack on kingside and black forced to

work for the protection of the weak pawns,
