Duda, Jan-Krzysztof vs. Caruana, Fabiano | Batumi Chess Olympiad | Open 2018
Replay the Batumi Chess Olympiad | Open Round 9 game played on 03/10/2018 with computer analysis
44.Qh4!
Caruana's goal is to transfer his rook to h4 via d4, but the immediate 44.Rd4 is simply met by 44...Re4 45.Rd8+ Re8 =.
So he first cleverly puts the c4 pawn under attack.
44...Re8
44...a5 45.Rd8+ Re8 46.Rxe8+ Qxe8 47.Qxc4+ +-
45.Rd4! Rc8 46.Qh6 Qe6 47.Rh4 +-
And Black is helpless.

27...Rd8?
Wesley's carelessness that fully is exploited by Radjabov.
The correct continuation is 27...axb5 28. axb5 Re8.
28.bxa6 Bc8

In this way, he compensated for the loss of Mamedyarov.

44.b4!
Idani makes a powerful passed pawn on the a-file.
44...axb4 45.a5 Bg5
45...Bxh2!!
An amazing way to draw the game.

24.Nxd5!!
In this position, White is practically a piece up due to the black terrible bishop on g6. Kramnik correctly opens up the position.
24...cxd5 25.Rb6+ Kd7 26.Bf1!
Threaten checkmate in three.
26...Kd8 27.Bb5 Re4 28.Rxb7 Nf6 29.b4!
Now, threatening to create a passed pawn on the a-file, makes things even harder for Black.
