(9) Carlsen,M (2815) - Nisipeanu,LD (2659) [D27]
5th Kings Tournament Medias ROU (5), 15.06.2011
[Pein,Malcolm]

Carlsen's ability to extract victories from endgames with a small advantage has already become legendary but this is more like a queenless middlegame 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.e3 Nf6 4.Bxc4 e6 5.Nf3 c5 6.0-0 a6 7.dxc5 The move was popularised by Kramnik when he used it with success against Garry Kasparov. It has plenty of venom even though the queens are traded 7...Bxc5 [7...Qxd1 8.Rxd1 Bxc5 enables Black to castle which is my preference] 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 9.Be2 Ke7 10.Nbd2 Bd7 11.Nb3 Bd6? A small error which Carlsen seizes upon in a very surprising way [11...Bb6; 11...Ba7!] 12.Na5! Ra7 [Black has to surrender one of his bishops after which he is worse long term 12...b5 13.Nb7 Bb4 14.Bd2 Bxd2 15.Nxd2 and a white knight will come to c5 and b2-b4 may follow with advantage to White] 13.Nc4 Bb5 [13...Bc7 14.b3! and Ba3+] 14.b3 Rd8 15.Bb2 Bxc4 [15...Nc6 16.Rfd1 Raa8 17.Rxd6 Rxd6 18.Nxd6 Kxd6 19.Bd1! Keeping the two bishops] 16.Bxc4 Nc6 17.Rfd1 Raa8 18.h3 g6 19.g4! White has two strong bishops and seeks to open the kingside 19...h6 20.Bf1 Rac8 21.Rac1 Nd5 22.h4  

22...Ke8 [Avoiding a possible Bf6+ 22...Ncb4 was more active] 23.g5 hxg5? [23...h5 To keep the position closed was a much tougher defence] 24.hxg5 Be7 25.Kg2! Nb6 [25...Ncb4!] 26.Bd3 Nb4 27.Be4! Nxa2 28.Rxd8+ Kxd8? [28...Rxd8 29.Rh1 Nd7 30.Rh8+ Bf8 31.Bxb7] 29.Rh1 White's pieces are so active he wins material 29...Nd5 [29...Nc3 30.Rh8+ Kc7 31.Rxc8+ Kxc8 32.Bxc3; 29...Nd7 30.Rh8+ Kc7 31.Rh7 Rf8 32.Bxg6 fxg6 33.Rxe7] 30.Ne5 f5 [30...Ke8 31.Rh8+ Bf8 32.Bxd5 exd5 33.Ba3] 31.Bxd5

[31.Bxd5 exd5 32.Rh8+ Kc7 33.Rh7 Kd8 34.Bd4 Nb4 35.Rh8+ Kc7 36.Bb6+ wins the rook as the king cannot retreat 36...Kb8 37.Nd7+ Ka8 38.Rxc8#] 1-0
