Of course. White can never capture this or push past, as his remaining pawn structure (not to mention the c5-square) would become hopelessly weak; so he is consigned to waiting for Black to find the best moment to open the a-file.

What could be more natural than to bring the queen to the g-file where Black's king resides? In principle, White does not have much advantage, but Black now needs to be careful, and the cost of further inaccuracies is high.

🛄 Altibox Norway Chess 2018 , 27 May - 7 June
Round four
🔹 Sergey Karjakin - Maxime Vachier-Lagrave
American chess Grandmaster Robert Hess about this game has noted:
" This game was one of the more impressive ones I've seen from Karjakin. From start to finish he played with the initiative, keeping MVL on his back foot throughout the game. Apparently, the first two dozen moves were preparation. Herein I offer some interesting lines, but I can't pretend to compete with the thorough analysis of a player like Karjakin."
