Firouzja, Chess.com, 2022.11....Bf812.Bd2Rb813.d5b5?13...cxd5!?It was better to trade these pawns and also additional material in the center.14.Nxd5Nxd515.Bxd5Nf616.c4And perhaps it was this position that
Tang did not like. Despite the well-positioned bishop in the center, the
engine is not giving any significant advantage to White.14.dxc6Qxc615.Nh2!?...Dominguez is transferring the knight to a better square while freeing
the f3-square for his queen.15.b4!?This move looks very nice as it
takes control of the c5-square not allowing the black knight to jump there.15....Bb716.Ng4...16.b4!?Computer still likes this move that restricts
Black's pieces.16....b417.Nxf6+Nxf618.Nd5Nxd519.Bxd5Qc720.Bb3!...This is an excellent positional move. Dominguez is retreating with his bishop
instead of allowing his opponent to trade it off. This bishop is a force on
the a2-g8 diagonal and it also protects the weak c2-pawn. It would be very
unfortunate to trade him for the less powerful bishop on b7.20....Bc621.a6Be722.Qh5...22.Qg4!A very strong move that either wins a pawn or destroys
the whole position in front of the black king. It is unclear why Dominguez did
not play this move.Kf8(22...Bf623.Bxh6+−)(22...Kh723.Bxf7+−)23.Qf5!Bd824.Rad1Kg825.Bxh6!!gxh626.Qg6+Kf827.Qxh6+Ke728.Rd3+−with a lethal attack on the f7-pawn and the d6-pawn.22....Bf623.Be3Red824.Qg4Kf825.Red1±...White still keeps a significant positional advantage
due to his active pieces and Black's messy pawn structure.25....Bb526.Qf3...White is putting a lot of pressure on the f6-bishop and the f7-pawn behind him.
Black has serious troubles defending both.26....Bg5Tang decided to give up a
