Strong moves

In the diagram below you see a position from Carlsen - Wang Yue (Bazna 2010). White has rook for bishop, but the position is not easy to play for White and it would take a long time to realize the advantage. Fortunately - from Magnus point of view - Black blundered with his last move 45.- g6-g5?

Now White played the amazing move 46.g4! This is a tactical shot since the following moves are forced: 46.- hxg4 47.h5! (the idea behind g4; now White has a passed pawn) 47.- Be4 48.Rc7! f5 49.h6 f4 50.h7 g3+ 51.Ke1 f3 52.h8-Q f2+ 53.Ke2 (53.Kd2) Bd3+ 54.Ke3 1-0

With games like this Magnus Carlsen proves that he will be the next World Chess Champion. At least I have no doubt that this is going to happen.

Blunder (2)

Bad times for Vassili Ivanchuk. In his game against Wang Yue (Sofia 2009) he blundered a complete position without need.

In the diagram he played 44.Bxg5?? (44.Bxe6 =). After 44.- Bxd5 45.f4+ Ke4 46.cxd5 Nxg5 47.fxg5 h4+! 48.Kxh4 Kf3 he found himself in a cage that he couldn't escape (diagram below).

49.b4 b5 50.a5 Kg2 51.h3 Kh2 0-1. A dark day for Chucky.
