📘 25...Re4?
Mosadeghpour could have finished the game by playing 25...Ra4! with a forced checkmate.
26.f5 Qb4 0-1
White lost on time in a better position, for example:
27.f×g6 f×g6 28.Bc1! With the idea of a3 —>R×h4

📘 23...e6!!
Svidler's creative move that reflects the ability of his calculation and tactics.

📘 9...b5!?
An interesting and very rare move which introduced by Cuban grandmaster, Walter Arencibia in 1998.
The idea behind the move is controlling c4 square and preventing of Qa4 and Bc4. If:
10.B×b5 Qa5 Black has enough compensation.
10.Rc1 Ba6 11.Be2 b4

📘 14.Ra4!
White prevents ...c5-c4, defends e4 horizontally along the rank and vacates the long a1-h8 diagonal.
14.Qf1 Nd4 15.Rg3 c4(15...e6!?) 16.Bxc4 Nxc2.
14.Nxb5 axb5 15.Bxb5 Nxe4 with a complicated game.
