🔸Round 2
⚪️Adhiban,Baskaran (2655)
⚫️Carlsen,Magnus (2834)
🔸0-1
📘 White has the idea of Kf1 and bring the king closer to stop black connected passed pawns.
Carlsen prevents this plan beautifully.

🔸1-0
📘 28...Nd7?
Kramnik has made a blunder in a difficult position.
(28...Ra3 29.Rb1 Kg6 30.Rb7 Qe8 31.Q×e8 N×e8 32.N×e6+/- )
29.B×e7 N×b8 30.Bb4! probably he missed this move in his calculations.
⚫️#231 (Strategy-Black to Move)

📕 1...Qd5!
White has a weak isolated d4 pawn. The d5 square is an excellent blockade position for any black piece. White's bishop has no good squares and his own pawns hinder his movement. It should be noted that Black has to exchange queens to prevent a possible attack on his king.
⚫️#232 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Korchnoi
🔸Karpov
🔸Merano, 1981
📕 11...Rb6!
With the idea of 12...Qd7 and then 13...Rd6 putting more pressure on the isolated d4-pawn.
⚪️#233 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Karpov
🔸Kuzmin
🔸Leningrad, 1973
