To be honest, I find this approach to be extremely attractive for black. Investing a tempo to shut down g2-g4 is often a good idea. Following 11.Kb1 Qc7, Svidler tried 12.Bd3. A curious choice, considering that Karjakin obtained a promising game against Topalov in round 3 with the simple 12.h3. Svidler misplayed the position and allowed the former world champion to build a decisive attack:
Would you believe that Topalov was the one who was lost in only 15 more moves? Have a look at the disaster here.
