๐บThe idea of putting the queen on d3 to support a knight on d5 is common, it hasn't been seen in top level chess in this particular position.๐บ

One of White's main plans in such positions is Qd2 with the idea of Na5 and b4, and generating a pawn majority attack in the queenside. Giri came up with an interesting plan. He played g6, now if white sends the Knight to a5, he would be able to send the knight to f5 via g7 and if white keeps his knight on b3, then he will go for f5 and continue his attack in the kingside.๐บ

๐บ1...f.e3 ?? 2.Rg3! Bh4 3.R.g6 with white's clear advantage๐บ
๐บInstead of the weak Re1+ Giri could save the game by perpetual checks.
1...Re.f3!! 2.R.f3 R.g4+ 3.Kf2 Qb2+ 3.Ke3 Qc3+ 4.Kf2=Draw (Qd3? Qe1+ 5.Qe2 Re4+ -+ ๐บ

๐บQe2! with the idea of sending the queen to the strong c4 square and putting pressure over black's weak squares.๐บ

๐น1...Ng8!? Black starts regrouping with an eye to exchange his โbadโ dark-square bishop. ะะต prepares Bg7-f6-g5. The
computer does not believe in this plan and insists that by playing correctly his opponent achieves an advantage. Still,
taking into account that Blackโs position is constrained, the grandmasterโs idea looks quite logical. I suppose that many
chessplayers would play the same way.. ๐น

1.Bd2! Tying down the rook to the ะฐ5-pawn. Whiteโs idea is simple: he is strengthening his position by transferring his bishop
to ั3 and his rook to ะต1, thus creating the threat of the unpleasant maneuver Ne4-g3-h5 (T.Petrosian).
In the actual game, the future champion of the world completely succeeded โ partly as a result of his opponentโs weak
resistance whose actions were passive and haphazard. ๐น
