  Honza Cervenka: 31...h5!? is very interesting. It covers g4 preparing thus (after 32.Ne2 or 32.Rg1) 32...Nxe5 with idea 33.Bxe5? Rg4 and it leaves still open a possibility Bxg2+ QxB QxB+ RxBf4. In uneasy position (probably with not much time left) Naiditsch quickly collapsed. 39.Rd1 is a blunder and 39...Ne4! wins material by force (40.Rxd5 Nxg3+ and 41...Bxd5 or 40.Qe3 Nxf2+ 41.Qxf2 Qxd1).

  Domdaniel: In some lines Black's h-pawn can also continue to h4 and h3.

  plang: A few weeks earlier at the Paris Championship Kengis had played 14..Rad8 against Spoelman and White had gone on to win; 14..g6 was new. 26 Ng5..Nf8 (26..h6? 27 Nxf7..Kxf7 28 e5 would have been promising for White) 27 Na4..N6d7 would not have been dangerous for Black. 27 fxe..Nh5 28 Be2..Rxc4 29 Bxc4..Rxc4 would have given Black good compensation for the exchange but was probably preferable to the game continuation. 31..h5 set a trap that Black which White fell into after 32 Ne2?..Nxe5!; better would have been 32 h3..Bxg2+ 33 Qxg2..Qxg2+ 34 Kxg2..Rxf4 35 Ne2..Re4 36 Ng3..Rxe1+ 37 Rxe1..Nxe5 followed by ..b5 and ..Nc4 with good winning chances for Black. 33 Bxe5?..Rg4 would have lost immediately. 38..Nd6 set another successful trap; 39 Kh2 would have prolonged the game.
