📘 16.Bxd5?
The young Ukrainian GM decreased his decisive advantage by a wrong combination.
16...e×d5 17.N×d5 Be6! 18.Nf6+ B×f6 19.R×d8 B×d8 20.Bf2 with just slightly better chances for white.
He could have started a decisive attack by playing 16.Be4! intending Bxh7 and g5.
A) 16...Ng6 17.f5 N×e5 18.f6 +-
B) 16...g6 17.g5 Nf5 18.B×f5 e×f5 (g×f5 19.Qh2+-) 19.N×d5 +-

📘 34...Ra8?
Black decided to prevent the penetration of white queen via a7 by an strange inactive move. He could simply prevent this threat by opening h7 square for his king by 34...h5! and now 35.Qa7 is impossible since black can take the e7 bishop.

📘 44...Bf5? 45.Bxg7+-
The stubborn resistance was to play the apparently losing move
44...g6!
A) 45.Bg7 Re8! 46.Bh6 f6 47.Q×f6 Rc7= and the bishop is stuck on h6.
B) 45.Bh8 Kf8 46.Qg7+ Ke7 47.Q×h7 +/-

📘 The ex world chamion U18 is wonderful in attacking positions!
32.Nd5! ed5 33.Nf5+ 1-0
32.Nd5! ed5 33.Nf5+ 1-0
📘 10...Re8?! is not an exact move, as after 11.Qxd8 Rxd8 black loses a tempo.
A solid option, played by Nepom is 10...h6 to make g5 inaccessible for white bishop and knight, and to continue with Be6. If 11.Bc4 black can try to equalize by playing Qe7 and Be6.
10...Be6, 10...Qe7, and 10...b6 are other alternatives.

📘After white's dubious move 5.Nc3 black replies with 5...f6. 5...f6 has been played by Aravindh in the previous year. Shirov, Kramnik, Moiseenko and Radjabov have played f6 against other white fifth moves. An idea of f6 is to not allow white to easily play e5 to weaken c5 after black plays d6.
It seems that on the 5th move white should avoid the comitting move Nc3, since this knight blocks the c pawn and deprives him of ideas such as c4 or c3, and d4.

📘 The young 2016 Iranian Champion played 35...c4 with a decisive advantage.
He could have concluded the game with a stunning last scene.
35...R×h5! 36.g×h5 B×f3! 37.N×f3 Q×h5 38.Nh2 Qd5 and mate follows.
