📗23...Bxf3?! Absolutely unnecessary! This is the only way white can manage to push his d-pawn! Smirnov should have just stayed still and enjoy looking at his nicely placed pieces! Although the move is actually the best move according to the engines, the practical complications in a rapid does not worth entering this line!

📗28...Ng6? This knight belongs to e5!

📗33.Rc7! A rest is Karjakin's cup of tea!

⚪️Liren Ding Vs ⚫️Mohamed Haddouche

📗9.Bd2!? An interesting and new idea. The point of this move is development without getting on the way of white's other pieces.

📗16...Bd7? Black misses a simple tactic. 17.Bxc7! A simple tactic! Rxc7 18.cxd5 cxd5 19.Bxa6 Rxc1 20.Rxc1 bxa6 21.Rc7

📗34.g4! white expands on the kingside!

📗1-0 Now all white has to do is to march his king to b8!
