GM Fabiano Caruana Vs GM Pavel Eljanov - Russian Team Championship 2011: Caruana opens with a Ruy Lopez, and Eljanov takes the game into a Berlin Defense.  Eljanov attempted to lift his queenside rook to the 6th rank, however this plan seemed misplaced and Caruana attentively reacted to keep black's rook out of play.  A few consecutive dubious moves by Eljanov and Caruana rapidly seized the initiative - and the win.  A fine game by the young super-GM, Fabiano Caruana.
