📘 25...Qd5?
(25...Rd5= Black should have prevented White from playing the strong 26.Qe5.)
26.Qe5 Rd1+ 27.R×d1 Q×d1+ 28.Ka2 Qd5+ 29.Q×d5 e×d5 30.f5!
Black will lose the knight soon.
1-0

📘 44.N×d5?
A time-trouble blunder.
( Better is 44.Qc2. The white queen is completely out of play so activating her is the most logical plan on the board.)
44...Qb7! 45.Qc2 Na7 46.Nf6+ g×f6 47.Qe2 f×e5 -+

Esipenko's miscalculation.

📕 13.Qc2!
A likely pointer to a promising initiative - vacating the open files for the rooks to arrive with tempo. Already the bishop on d5 looks unhappy since it also cannot costlessly abandon its cover of e4. 13...Qb6 14.Rad1! Nb4 15.Qa4+ Bc6 16.Qb3 Nd5 17.Qc4!.

📕 15.a4!
The idea is clear - of course Black should not allow this pawn to advance to a6. The question is where to stop it.
15...Rd8 16.c3 Nd5?! (correct is 16...a5!=) 17.a5 a6 18.Nb3+/- and then 19.Nc5.
