Congrats to American Fabiano Caruana for winning the Candidates in Berlin and is now the challenger to Magnus Carlsen for the title of World Chess Champion.
Fabiano Caruana won the 2018 FIDE Candidates' Tournament in Berlin convincingly. He defeated Alexander Grischuk in the final round with the black pieces. Sergey Karjakin blundered but held the draw vs Ding Liren, and both Kramnik-Mamedyarov and Aronian-So were also drawn.
Caruana will face Magnus Carlsen for the world chess championship in London in November.
Caruana won about $118,000. Even if he loses to Carlsen, he will get $496,000 (40% of the world championship prize fund).

Tomashevsky is preparing a king-march to the queenside in order to keep his king safe before the final attack. This theme was first introduced by 9th world chess champion Tigran Petrosian. 22...Kg7 23.Kf1.

A typical maneuver in this line. The knight heads for c6 via c2-b4, if Black plays a5, it gets an outpost on b5.
