Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-27-19  Ulhumbrus: 21 Nb4 makes a concession by omitting to occupy the e file by 21 Re1. In two moves Kramnik occupies it himself.

After 29 Qe4 Kramnik dominates the e file and perhaps the board as well.

After 43...Qe1 Black's occupation of the e file has turned into an occupation of the back rank and a king hunt

After 61...Qxe5+ Black's king hunt has led to a queen and pawn ending with an extra potential passed pawn.

After 65...Ke6 Black's extra pawn has led to a won king and pawn ending.

One example of a reason why Fedoseev concedes the e file to Kramnik is that he has overlooked something which he sees too late.

  HeMateMe: This Queen/Rook middlegame feels very familiar. We've all this position, but we don't play it as well as Kramnik does.
