Game 3 | Caruana vs. Carlsen | 2018 World Chess Championship

My analysis of Game 3 of the 2018 World Chess Championship in London, England, between the challenger, GM Fabiano Caruana of the United States, and the world champion, GM Magnus Carlsen of Norway. This a 12-game match played at a time control of 100 minutes for 40 moves, 50 minutes for the next 20 moves, and 15 minutes for the rest of the game with a 30-second increment throughout.

(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost ๐Ÿ˜” after Johann played excellently.
