Position after 23...Rf8. A key moment. 24.Be2 was certainly possible here.
24.b4
[24.Be2 Morozevich's post game suggestion. 24...g4 But this
does remove the counterplay in the game. (24...a5
25.Bh5 (25.Bf3 Be6 26.Rxb7 Rfe8 27.b4) 25...Bf5) 25.b4 "This
is totally lost I think." - Morozevich. 25...a5]
24...a6 25.Bd3 a5
[25...b6 "OK still looking dubious but I didn't see something
concrete here." - Morozevich 26.Ra7 a5 27.bxa5 bxa5 28.Rec7
"At least something, no?" - Morozevich. 28...h5 29.Rxa5 Be6
"OK it's not completely lost anyway." - Carlsen.]
26.bxa5 Ra8 27.Bb5 Rxa5 28.a4 Ra8 29.Kc3 h5 30.Kb4!?

Position after 30.Kb4!? Carlsen thought that he had good drawing chances here.
Both players agreed after the game this might not be best but it
really isn't that clear. "Now I think I have very good drawing
chances." - Carlsen.
[30.Kd4 "was the correct move of course." Morozevich. 30...h4
31.Re8 Rxe8 32.Bxe8 "The difference of course is that your king
now can't move." - Morozevich. 32...Be6 33.Bb5 b6 34.Rb7 Rc8
35.Rxb6 Rc2 36.a5 Rxf2 37.a6 Ra2 "This is not so easy." -
Morozevich.]
