30... Nb5?
Looks like Black is doing fine, except that White has a nice tactical continuation at his disposal.
Better is 30... Re6= or 30...Rf4
31. Bf6! Qxf6 32. Qxe4 Nc3
Black was depending on this fork...
33.Qf3! Qxf3 34.Rb6+!
The point of the combination that started with 31.Bf6!. White wins the exchange.

White calmly blockades black's h-pawn, before playing g5. Weaker is 22.g5 h5+/=.

Magnus Carlsen wins his second game in the #BielChess against MVL. A great start for the World Champion .
24.d4!
A typical move, restricting the bishop on g2 and preparing to bring the knight on a6 into play.

A lovely move which both stops ...Nf5 and also increases White's activity a little by unmasking the e-file, activating White's rook on e1.
21...Bxf3
Black switches his plan.

💠 #about_Gashimov
🔹 Vugar Gashimov
🔹 Azerbaijani Chess Grandmaster
🔰 Vugar Gashimov was an Azerbaijani chess grandmaster. He was a noted player of blitz chess. At his peak ranking he was No. 6 in the world, achieved in November 2009.
Full name: Vüqar Qasım oğlu Həşimov
Country: Azerbaijan
Born: 24 July 1986
Baku, Azerbaijan SSR
Died: 11 January 2014 (aged 27)
Heidelberg, Germany
Title: Grandmaster (2002)
Peak rating: 2761 (January 2012)
Peak ranking: No. 6 (November 2009)
🔰Gashimov was born on July 24, 1986 in Baku. He was the son of a retired army colonel who served at the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan.
He won the Athens 2005 (Acropolis International), and tied for first at the Cappelle-la-Grande open in 2007, he again tied for first and was winning it on tie-break in 2008. He won the strong and traditional invitation tournament at Reggio Emilia in 2010-11 on tie-break above Francisco Vallejo Pons.
🔰Gashimov played for Azerbaijan in the Chess Olympiads of 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008. He played in the gold medal-winning Azerbaijani team at the European Team Chess Championship in Novi Sad in 2009, alongside Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Teimour Radjabov, Rauf Mammadov and Gadir Guseinov, previously winning bronze medal in 2007. In 2010, however, he did not represent his country at the Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk due to a conflict with the national chess federation and former team coach Zurab Azmaiparashvili.
◼️ Doctors diagnosed Gashimov with epilepsy when he fell ill in February 2000, and shortly afterwards, discovered a brain tumor. While receiving treatment for the brain tumor in a hospital in Heidelberg, Germany, Gashimov died in the early hours of 11 January 2014. He had been inactive from chess since playing in the Tata Steel Chess Tournament in January 2012. He was buried at the Alley of Honor in Baku.
