📘 11...Q×d3!
An interesting piece sacrifice by Adams.
12.Q×c6 Bd7 13.Qc7 Ng4!
Now, the white queen has been deprived of access to e5 and black threatens to trap her.

📘 51...Kb8? (Kc6=)
Adams himself has confined his own king on the last rank. Now white can attack it with a rook, knight, and bishop.

📘 23.Rxc8!
Kramnik gives the open file away because he has a simple plan: promote his d-pawn. So in giving away the c-file he actually misplaces Black's rook, which needs to keep watch over White's soon-to-be surging passer.

📘 41...a5!
A multi-purpose move: 1. Black evades Nxa7.2. Black prevents b3-b4 and fixes a pawn target on b3.3. Black frees his own knight for ...Nd4 to go after White's pawns.
41...Nd4? 42.Nxa7 Nxb3 43.Nc8=
41...Kf5 42.Nd6+ Ke6 43.Nb5 Now, the position is returned to the initial situation and black can still go for ...a5!
