Carlsen ruins a promising position in Game 9 World Championship draw

Caruana and Carlsen in play during game 9. | https://tv.nrk.no/direkte/nrk1
Magnus Carlsen finally got a promising position with white in game 9 of his match against Fabiano Caruana. Carlsen found a tricky position in the English that hadn't been investigated by his opponent and after the pragmatic 17...Bxf3 Caruana would have expected a long defence. The position was far from winning but after Carlsen's 25. h5?! Caruana found 25...gxh5 26. Qc4 f5! and the position was again about equal -the game was drawn in 56 moves.
Score Carlsen 4.5 Caruana 4.5 just three games to go, any error now will be very serious.
Game 10 Caruana vs Carlsen Thursday 22nd November 2018.
