Firouzja , Caruana in candidates

Post by Look »

Hi,

Firouzja and Caruana made it to candidates. From their game in round 9:


[fen]r6r/pp1nbkp1/2p1pp2/3pPn1p/PP1P3P/1P3NP1/3BNP2/R3R1K1 b - - 0 17[/fen]


Seems that played move ... fxe5 weakens g5 square. ... a6!? deserves attention.


[fen]2r4r/pp1nbkp1/2p1p3/3pPn1p/PP3N1P/1P3NP1/3B1P2/R3R1K1 b - - 0 19[/fen]


It seems the move ... d4 is early. ... g6 Prepares g7 for king and defends h5 pawn.
Farewell.
