Strong moves

In the diagram below you see a position from Carlsen - Wang Yue (Bazna 2010). White has rook for bishop, but the position is not easy to play for White and it would take a long time to realize the advantage. Fortunately - from Magnus point of view - Black blundered with his last move 45.- g6-g5?




Now White played the amazing move 46.g4! This is a tactical shot since the following moves are forced: 46.- hxg4 47.h5! (the idea behind g4; now White has a passed pawn) 47.- Be4 48.Rc7! f5 49.h6 f4 50.h7 g3+ 51.Ke1 f3 52.h8-Q f2+ 53.Ke2 (53.Kd2) Bd3+ 54.Ke3 1-0


With games like this Magnus Carlsen proves that he will be the next World Chess Champion. At least I have no doubt that this is going to happen.
