27.Ra1!
Prevents Nb5. While White has no realistic chances for active play, it's not easy to see how Black can make progress...
27...Rd5!?
Dreev comes up with an interesting plan. The Bf3 is an important piece and winning the exchange will increase Black's light-square dominance. 27...Nb5?? 28.Bd1.
28.Kh2 Both sides ignore the rook for the time being.
28.Bxd5 Rxd5 (28...exd5? 29.e6 fxe6 30.Bxg7+/-) 29.Kh2 is passive but still leaves Black with the task of how to increase his pressure.

♦️Chess Story Of Magnus Carlsen:👇🏼
FM (2002); IM (2003); GM (2004); vice-World U12 World Champion (2002); Norwegian
Champion (2006); Candidate (2007 & 2013); World Champion (2013, 2014 & 2016); World Rapid Champion (2014 & 2015) and World Blitz Champion (2009, 2014 & 2017), winner of the Grand Chess Tour (2015), five-time winner at Wijk aan Zee (2008 (jointly with Levon Aronian), 2010, 2013, 2015 & 2016) and ...
Carlsen had an aggressive style of play as a youth, and, according to Simen Agdestein, his play was characterised by "a fearless readiness to offer material for activity".As he matured, Carlsen found that this risky playing style was not as well suited against the world elite. When he started playing in top tournaments, he had trouble getting much out of the opening. To progress,
Carlsen's style became more universal, capable of handling all sorts of positions well. He opens with both 1.d4 and 1.e4, as well as 1.c4, and, on occasion, 1.Nf3, thus making it harder form opponents to prepare against him and reducing the effect of computer analysis. He said in 2015 that the middlegame is his favourite part of the game as it comes down to "pure chess". In a 2016 interview, Anish Giri said: "Magnus and I are very close in terms of style, but in our approach to the game we're total opposites. Magnus tries to put the accent only on play, getting away from preparation, but for me preparation plays an enormous role.
