My Rodent Topalov personality likes a3 after 1 second, but prefers e4 instead of the exchange sac to open the bishops and keep the exchange sac up his sleeve.

11.a3!! and ...Bxa3 12.Rxa3! Qxa3 13.c5 and white has everything under control.

What a powerful human move :-)
No one of my all engines is able to find this..
Maybe yours engine..can ?!
Your engines can't find it because black must not capture on a3 but play Bd6! and white has small plus +0,23 after e4 depth 32 asmfish170522

By far the the most entertaining game, since a long time.
But not forget, that every masterpiece was created by two players. Carlsen, with his incredible technical calculation abilty, did not flinched away from 11...Bxa3.

You said, none of your engines could find 11.a3. Maybe because the cold blooded monster, with no sense for beauty, simply neutralizes the sacrifice and assesses it as not promising enough?
Certainly, if you analyze the position after 11.a3, you get some meaningful ouptut.

11...Bd6 is one of few options. In my opinion, this is safe move than 11...Bxa3.

After taking pawn in move 11, game is very interesting than back off bishop

Well, maybe the top engines discard the move 11.a3, because it leads to a 0.00 score, with other moves being evaluated higher than 0.00 ;-)
