Dec-23-11		falso contacto: 20. ... 0-0 doesn't seem to fit too well.

Dec-23-11		King Death: Actually I think Black's position doesn't fit too well. He's gone from being a pawn down to a pawn ahead, but his pieces don't coordinate well and his king isn't castled. Even if we could just drop the knight at f2 on to d5 and give Black time to castle, White would have play for his pawn. Caruana probably saw castling as the chance to bail out of an uncomfortable spot. Also Morozevich used good judgment when playing 24.Rf2. The ending after 24.Qf2 Qf2 25.Rf2 wouldn't have been much fun for him.
