⚪️Esipenko,Andrey (2564)
⚫️Ivanchuk,Vassily (2726)
🔸1-0
📘 39...Nd4??
The Black Knight is wrongly placed with the queen on the same file.
Ivanchuk could have played: 39...Qd7 (with the idea of Nd4 - e6 40.Re4! Qc6 41.f3 Nc5 =
40.Qd6! Q×b2 41.Re8+ 1-0
with a quick checkmate.

📘 22...Nc5?
The White Queen suffers from lack of space and Bocharov could have exploited that with the following continuation:
22...R×d4! 23.B×d4
(23.N×d4 Rf6 -+)
23...e5 24.Bb2 Rf6 -+
