In this game it has been mainly Emil Sutovsky who has been pressing, with the black pieces. But his advantage has slipped and now the Israeli GM loses the thread completely: 47...Rh3? 47...Kd6 was required. Now Sergey Karjakin seizes his chance with youthful vigor: 48.g5 Kd6 49.Kf5 Rh1 50.Bf8+ Kd7 [50...Kxd5 51.Kf6 Rf1+ 52.Ke7 Re1+ 53.Kxf7] 51.Kf6 Ke8 52.Bb4 Rh5 53.d6 b5 54.Bc5 Kd7 55.Bb4 Ke8 56.Bd2 Rh2 57.Kg7 f6 58.g6 1-0.
An aggressive game and unlucky loss by Emil Sutovsky
