23...Rc7!
Ivanchuk with defending the a7-pawn releases his queen. Superb defending and prophylaxis by him, making it extremely tough for Epishin to find a way through, who soon loses focus slightly.
23...Bf5 24.Bxf5 Nxf5 25.gxf5 Rxf6 26.Ne5 White is clearly better.
23...fxg5? 24.Ne5 black cannot defend all of his weaknesses.

15...Qa6!
White has problems defending the b3- and d3-squares. Castling becomes a remote dream.
15...d4?! Allowing the opponent's king to castle: 16.exd4 Qf5 17.0-0
15...Qf5? 16.0-0 This leaves Black with a weak isolated pawn at d5.

16...Ne7!
Another Berlin by Kramnik who knows it better than anyone in the world! Black intends to transfer his knight to the ideal c6- square, then he will initiate next operations on the queenside.
