FIDE World Cup 2019 round 7-3

Teimour Radjabov: "I was hoping that if he [Ding Liren] doesn't know about 22...c5!, then it becomes a little bit tricky for him." The Chinese spent 29 minutes on 22...Bf8, then drifted into a difficult position and eventually lost.

20.Nxh7? [In this position, the black king's position is weak and so White tries to obtain an advantage by the tactical means but opening the h-file is just Black's favor. Instead, White should have played another tactical blow:]
