Rae8 19.Rae1 a5 Black is ignoring the threats on the kingside, but perhaps there was really nothing better he could do. 20.Qg4 Rg6 21.Nf4 Rxg4 22.Nxd5 Rg6 23.g4 Carlsen is in time trouble, Kamsky is playing difficult moves – here threatening to trap the black rook. [After 23.Nxc7 White gets two pawns and probably a winning position. 23...Rc8 (23...Re7 24.Nb5 Rd7 25.Re4 Rd5 26.Nbxd4 Nxd4 27.Nxd4 Bc5 28.Ne2 ) 24.Nb5 Rd8 25.Re4 Bc5 26.Rc1 Bb6 27.Rc4 Re6 28.Nfxd4 Nxd4 29.Nxd4 and White is two pawns up.] 23...Rd8?! Carlsen decides to give the exchange and try to set up a fortress. 24.Nf4 Rh6 25.g5 Re6 26.Nxe6 fxe6 27.Rc1 Rd5 28.Rc4 Bc5 29.h4 Bb6 30.Kg2 Ne7 31.h5 Rd8 32.Re4 Nf5 33.Nh4 Ne7 34.Kg3 g6 35.Kg4 Rd5 36.hxg6 hxg6 37.a4 Kf7 38.Rc1 Rd8 39.Rh1 Kg7 40.Ng2 Nf5 41.Nf4 Re8 42.Ree1 c5 43.Rh3 1-0
