Black wins with a powerful 1...Nh4!(D), threatening Qg2#:
- 2.Ne3 Nf3#
- 2.gxh4 Qg4+ wins the d1-rook for Black
Instead, Carlsen played 1...Nf4?, allowing 2.Ne3!=, but Gukesh, being low on time, resigned anyway.

I have good and bad news for you.
Good: You are playing like Carlsen!
Bad: This move lets the win slip.

White will be worse once Black wins the d6-pawn, hence White played 1.Nd4!(D):
- 1...Qxd6 2.Nf5! and after 2...Qxd3 3.cxd3, White is better
- 1...exd4 2.exd4 followed by 3.e5! gives White massive central pawns as compensation

As Tartakower once said: "No game was ever won by resigning".
Black is actually winning after 1...Kxe8 2.Bg6 Rf2+!!(D), and after 3.Kxf2 Ne4+ (fork!) 4.Bxe4 Qxf6 Black ends up with an extra queen.

1.Bxf6! Bxf6 2.h4!(D) followed by g4-g5, exploiting the h6-pawn hook.

Otherwise, 2.Kd3 Ne4 follows, and Black wins material.

Fedoseev played the strong thematic 1.Nh4!(D), rerouting the knight to f5 — a classic idea in e4–e5 structures.

Black could have won by force with 1...g5+! 2.fxg5 Nf8!(D) — threatening Ng6+ and Qxh3#, while also stopping Qd7+.
White’s only tries, 3.g4 or 3.g6, both lose to 3...Qf3!, with checkmate soon to follow.
Maxime played 1...Qf3? allowing 2.Qd7+ and White escaped.

White tried 3.h3, but after 3...gxh3+! 4.Kh2 Bxg3! had to resign as Black either mates or queens the h-pawn.
P.S. 3...h5?? would give away the win: 4.Rad6! Bxd6 5.Rxg5!=
