An interesting idea by Carlsen. he intends to challenge White's light-square strength on the queenside, by ...f6 and ...Qf7.
11...f5? the weakening of e4-square. 12.exf5 Bxf5 13.Bxf5 Rxf5 14.Ne4+/-
11...a6 12.Nc4 whit the idea of 13.Ne3 gives white a slight advantage.

Carlsen commits to an ambitious attacking plan along the kingside dark squares.of course if Black's knight were easily available for d5, this square, and d4 pawn become weak. it was a good strategic decision on Carlsen's part since his kingside dark-square play looks more promising than what Black is offered with the d5 hole.
17.f4? f5! A typical counterblow in such positions. it shuts out white dark square bishop and pressures on the a8-h1 diagonal.
17.h6? Bf8! Closing the kingside only makes Black's defensive task easier.
