31. Nh6+
Nakamura had a big advantage but underestimated his own position. he could have obtained a clear advantage after:
31. Rce1! Qh5 32. Nd6
A)32...Red8 33.Qf7+ Kh7 34. e7 Rxd6 35. e8=Q Rxe8 36. Rxe8 Rb6 37. Qg8+ Kh6 38.Re3 +-

13. Rh3!?
An interesting rook-lift to defend the knight on f3 and prepare to play a g–pawn push.

18.Qc4!
A multi-purpose move:
1- Preventing Black from playing Qf6.
2- Preventing annoying ...Nh4, due to White's advantage in space.
3- Clearing the d3 square for the Bishop.

Magnus reached a clearly superior position and converted his advantage into a full point without much effort.

18...Qd5!
By offering to go into an endgame, Black emphasizes White's main problem in such positions – the weakness of the h5-pawn. After some thought, Lanka decided to give it up immediately but to keep the queens on.
19.Qe2?! Qb5?! (19...Nxh5) 20.b3 a5 21.Ne5 a4.

White has coordinated his forces: now his knight will go to c4, from e2 his bishop is attacking the h5-pawn, and the rook at a3 will come into play along the 3rd rank. For the moment Black's extra material is not felt, whereas the problems with his king are obvious.
25...Nxc4 26.Nxc4 Rb4? (26...h4!) 27.e5!+/-.
