Ng5! was clever giving Black doubled doubled pawns which hurt Black in the endgame.

[@jasonphos]

Yes i assume that was the winning move momentum wise, it really was a catalyst for the win.

[@joedorben3504]

A lot of people have misconcepti9ns about doubled pawns. Theyre only weak/bad if you needed a pawn on a certain square that it is not on anymore, if you can't defend one of them without weakening a color complex/your king significantly, or if theyre isolated. The structure after hxg5 is perfectly fine. Magnus was just upset because if white didnt have Ng5 then Magnus was much better due to how weak a2 is. But Ng5 freed white up significantly and gave him activity

[@mrdraw2087]

That pawn on g5 (later g4) was actually quite strong, as it paralyzed white's kingside. Carlsen messed up in the endgame by giving up the e6 pawn in order to free the rook and bring the pawn to b2, but it got stuck there, so he had to trade it for white's d-pawn later.

I am confused. It was Magnus’s turn. Couldn’t he have forced a tie? If he uses his rook then I put king in check. Wouldn’t that force a tie or at least lose the white pawn? I am sure I am just missing something but I would love to see exactly why Magnus thought he was certain to lose this game.

Kh6, Kg7. No more rook checks(would take 2 moves) and the pawn moves up to shield the white king. The black king is cut off.
