Dynamics
Duda’s wrong capture
The bishop wants dynamics, the knight prefers static positions. Jan-Krzysztof Duda chose the wrong capture in a knight versus bishop ending against the ever-ruthless Magnus Carlsen.
King activity
Levon Aronian showed the correct technique to convert an advantageous position with a passer on the flank in a minor-piece endgame.
Deep queen endings
Making decisions in queen endings is extremely difficult, especially in rapid games. Duda could have beaten Praggnanandhaa had he found the precise manoeuvre in the following position.
After 92.Ke7, Pragg managed to escape with a half point, while 92.Qg3 cutting off the king in fact wins.
