Final position

Caruana resigned because he cannot cope with these two passed pawns on both sides of the board. Resources are overstretched.

Takeaway points

Keep grinding every game with passion and heart
Don't be put off playing the Elite Grandmasters
You can even win with black against Caruana
Somehow Caruana doesn't seem to like his dark square bishop - but it was black's Dark square bishop that was very dangerous in the endgame
