Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-04-13  csmath: Congratulations to Fridman for brave opening and holding the game so long but it was not to be.

Caruana won this game by sheer patience missing some blows earlier (53. Ne5 and then Qd2-a5 etc).

It seems it was just a matter of time when black position would break assuming white makes no major error. Very solid game by Caruana and good lesson in keeping cool head under opening pressure.
