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."

🎆 Max Euwe
🎆 Dutch chess Grandmaster
🎆 Former World Chess Champion
♦️ Machgielis "Max" Euwe, PhD was a Dutch chess Grandmaster, mathematician, author, and chess administrator. He was the fifth player to become World Chess Champion. Euwe served as President of FIDE, the World Chess Federation, from 1970 to 1978.
▪️ Full name: Machgielis Euwe
▪️ Country: Netherlands
▪️ Born: May 20, 1901
Amsterdam, Netherlands
▪️ Died: November 26, 1981 (aged 80)
Amsterdam, Netherlands
▪️ Title: Grandmaster (1950)
▪️ World Champion: 1935–37
▪️ Peak rating: 2530 (May 1974)
♦️ Euwe played his first tournament at age 10, winning every game. Euwe won every Dutch chess championship that he contested from 1921 until 1952, and additionally won the title in 1955 – his 12 titles are still a record. The only other winners during this period were Salo Landau in 1936, when Euwe, then world champion, did not compete, and Jan Hein Donner in 1954. He became the world amateur chess champion in 1928, at The Hague, with a score of 12/15.
♦️From 1970 (at age 69) until 1978, Max Euwe was president of the FIDE. As president, Euwe usually did what he considered morally right rather than what was politically expedient. On several occasions this brought him into conflict with the USSR Chess Federation, which thought it had the right to dominate matters because it contributed a very large share of FIDE's budget and Soviet players dominated the world rankings – in effect they treated chess as an extension of the Cold War.
♦️ A memorable game by Euwe against Alekhine which known "Euwe Win This Time" in chessgames.com site! 👇🏼
