📘 11...Qe8!
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.

📘 17.e5!
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.

▪️Paul Morphy
▪️ American chess player
♦️ Paul Charles Morphy was an American chess player.
♦️ He is considered to have been the greatest chess master of his era and an unofficial World Chess Champion. He was a chess prodigy.
▫️ Full name Paul Charles Morphy
▫️ Country United States
▫️ Born June 22, 1837 New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
▫️ Died July 10, 1884 (aged 47) New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
▫️ World Champion 1858–62 (unofficial)
♦️ A fantastic and informative game of Morphy 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
♦️ About this game:
" 🔸 This game will make an impression on you.
🔸The most instructive part of this game is how Morphy gives his opponent no time to do anything!
🔸After poor opening play (do not bring your queen out too early without GOOD reason!) by black he gets caught in a whirlwind of problems and from move 7 onwards every move is more or less forced!
🔸Morphy uses a powerful strategy (which you should attempt to emulate) of developing his pieces with a gain of time (piece comes out and hits the enemy queen, forcing her to move again instead of doing something productive) and pushes his opponent around until the final checkmate. "
