"Ivanchuk's game was simply impossible to describe" (Chessbase News 28/11/2013)
Is Mats trying to show that the indescribable is understandable?
Here is another try -

Re: Ivanchuk-Mamedov, World Teams 2013
Thanks, John. You should include the final line Mats gives as well. It really is an incredible game, with amazing lines, and the most amazing thing of all being that it petered out to a draw at the end. I'm surprised the final moves were not played out. The way the ...f3 move saved Black despite being a rook down is incredible, with about three different mates possible (on g1 with the heavy pieces, on g2 with the f3 pawn, and on f2 with the knight).
