Anand,Viswanathan (2791) − Gelfand,Boris (2727) [D70] WCh Moscow (3), 14.05.2012 [Naiditsch,Arkadij,Taner,Harun]

9.d5 c6! [Black needs to start immediately a play in the center. In case White would manage to castle long, play h4–h5 Blacks position would be very bad]

[We are in the 3rd round of the WCC Match and just like in the first round, Anand continues with 1.d4]

10.h4 [The beginning of the actions!]

[10.d6? is not working now because of 10...Re8 11.0–0–0 Re6 12.Bg5 Black wanted to play Bf8 and the pawn on d6 would get lost 12...f6 13.Be3 Bf8! a great sacrifice! 14.Bxb6 axb6 15.Bc4 b5!

16.Bxe6+ Bxe6 White is an exchange up, but doing clearly worse! There is no decent defence against the Blacks b4 move, also all Black pieces are perfectly in the game and the knight from b8 will take a very good place on d7.]

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.f3 [and here comes the change in comparison to game Nr 1, where White has played 3.Nc3] 3...d5 [maybe in the next games Black could try the 3...Bg7 4.e4 d6 and we are in the King's Indian, in which Anand usually is choosing the lines with Nf3 and not f3!]

4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nb6 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.Be3 0-0 8.Qd2 [Diagram

10...cxd5 11.exd5 N8d7 [11...f5 Of course it would be very nice for Black to put pawn to f5, but it seems that White is just to fast 12.h5 N8d7 13.hxg6 hxg6 14.Bh6 White threats on the Black King are very dangerous already.; 11...h5 This move is quite interesting and deserves attention, Black is blocking the Whites play on the file, and want themselves to continue the development in a normal way by playing N8d7–Nf6. White got quite a big range of moves here, for example: 12.Nh3 then Ng5, or maybe the direct 12.0–0–0 followed by g4 is possible as well. We can be sure in one, this position been analysed very well

by Gelfand's team as well as of course by

Antalya Chess Express c3 s19

Anand team, so we should just simple believe them that 11... Nbd7 is the best move here :)]

Nfd5. White got again here very many moves to be considered. As we see, position is super complicated and it is really hard to say who is doing better; an interesting move as well is 16.Nh3 e4 (a typical sacrifice is not working now 16...Rxc3?! 17.Qxc3 Nfxd5 18.Bc4! and some of the Black pieces will get lost on the d file) 17.Nf4 and we are again in a totally messy position, but from the feeling maybe White could be better here. The knight on f4 is taking a very powerful position]

12.h5 Nf6 13.hxg6 fxg6 [Both players have played their moves very fast till here.

A bit strange, that almost all the engines are giving quite a big advantage to White which is not obvious at all with "human eyes"! This makes the position very tricky and hard to analyse.]

16...e4! [Diagram

+

+ + + + + + + + + ! + + + +" #+ $ % + & ' Q + +) *,- +++% $+. /012345678

14.0-0-0 Bd7 [after this move Anand had his first thought. Let us also take a look at the position from the logical point of view: 1) It is clear, that positionally White is doing better. A strong pawn on d5 is giving White a clear advantage in the center. Also in case White manages to develop the pieces by playing for example: Nh3–g5 White will be better as well. 2) It is clear as well, that Blacks chances are in the dynamic play.]

15.Kb1 [a standard prophylactical move.

White king will anyway have to move away from the c line]

an excellent move by Black! and very quickly played by Gelfand. Great preparation by the Gelfand team]

15...Rc8 [I think we are at the first critical position. White got a huge range of moves that needs to be considered, and Anand took around 25 minutes of thinking before playing his next move.]

17.Bd4! [after another long thought, Anand is finding probably the best reaction!] [a mistake would be 17.fxe4? Rxc3! this time it is working 18.Qxc3 Nxe4 19.Qe1 Na4 Black pieces are going for the White king 20.Bd4 Nxb2! and this is the finishing move. White King is going to be mated soon; a mistake as well would be 17.Nxe4?

Nxe4 18.fxe4 Rxf1! a pretty move but of course such things Anand sees immediately 19.Rxf1 Nc4 and again the b2 pawn is the troublemaker, Black is winning]

16.Ka1 [One of the options should be definitely 16.d6 Be6 this is why maybe d6 is not the best, the bishop on e6 is standing perfectly, even if it is looking like a lost of a tempo, just 2 moves ago been played the move Bc8–d7. 17.Bg5 Black wanted to play Nfd5 17...Qd7 Black Queen is going to f7 and same time Black wants again to play 1085

Antalya Chess Express c3 s19

17...Na4 [this move been quickly played as well by Black, and it seems it is leading to a forced draw– amazing preparation!]

18...Qa5! [a very good move by Black practically forcing White to go into a drawn endgame]

[17...Nc4 this move gives White the chance to develop completely 18.Bxc4 Rxc4 19.Nge2 and White should be doing a bit better, he managed to keep his strong d pawn, plus White will have dangerous attacking chances in the future whether White King is having a very safe position; 17...Re8!? personally I like this move a lot, now Black wants to play e3 18.fxe4 and the sacrifice again and again on c3 18...Rxc3!

19.Qxc3 Nxe4 and we are n in a totally unclear position. To know who is doing better here very deep analyses are needed.

Computers are not giving the right evaluation in many lines which makes it even harder finding the truth, but again, we should just believe Gelfand team that 17...Na4 is the better choice]

19.Nxe4 [it is difficult to find something better for White] [19.fxe4? is not working again 19...Nxc3 20.Bxc3 (20.Nxc3 Nxe4 21.Nxe4 Qxd2 22.Nxd2 Bxd4∓) 20...Qa4 and White can not protect the pawn on e4–so Black should be doing great] 19...Qxd2 20.Nxf6+ Rxf6! [Diagram

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + ! + % + +" #+ + + + & ' $+ +) *,- +++%++. /012345678

18.Nge2 [an interesting move would be here 18.Nxe4!? Nxe4 this move is starting a long forced line, it might be that instead of 18... Nxe4 Gelfand planned to do something else!? but not easy to understand actually what... 19.fxe4 Bxd4 20.Qxd4 Qg5 of course Blacks chance is the development!

21.Kb1 White King is in the middle of the game protecting the field c1! 21...Rxf1 what else?! 22.Rxf1 Qxg2 23.Ne2! Maybe Anand has blondered this nice protection move?!

23...Qxe2 24.Ka1 we are in a very crazy position. From the material point of view, Black is doing better, but probably for a practical game Blacks position can be very dangerous. White got good attacking chances plus the 2 central pawns can get in movement very soon. I think Whites position is even objectively better]

a very exact move by Gelfand] [in case of 20...Bxf6 21.Rxd2 Bxd4 22.Rxd4 Rc2 23.b3 Black would still have to fight for a draw] 21.Rxd2 Rf5! [Blacks target is the pawn d5, and it is very difficult for White to find anything to protect the lonely d5 pawn] 22.Bxg7 Kxg7 23.d6 [Black simple wanted to win the pawn back by playing Nb6 and at Nc3 Nxd5] 23...Rfc5?! [the first inaccuracy Gelfand after a great play] 1086

a practical game it is very hard to evaluate!] [a not very difficult 23...Nb6 24.Nc3 Rd5!= is leading immediately to a draw 25.Rxd5 Nxd5 and White got nothing better than letting Black taking twice on c3]

27...Nd3 28.Nd4 Rd2 29.Bxd3 Rxd3 30.Re1! [So, White is a pawn up, plus Re7 is a very dangerous threat. Blacks only hope seems to be the White King]

Black is trying all the tricks in the fight for survival, to have the rooks on the 2nd rank is the best chance]

24...a5 [still here 24...Nb6 25.Nc3 Nd5 would have been probably the better option for Black]

31.Kb1 Bf5+ [The only move] 25.Rh4! [finally the White rook from h1 is joining into the game. White wants to play Re4–Re7] 25...Rc2 [probably the last chance for Black to start some action]

32.Nxf5+ gxf5 33.Re7+ Kg6 [and we are in a position, where Anand made a terrible miscalculation. Having only 5 minutes for the 6 moves, Anand is making a very strange decision - practically agrees to a draw.] 34.Rc7? [34.d7 Rcc2 35.Rc4! it is clear that Anand saw this move 35...Rxa2 (35...Rxc4 is not saving as well 36.bxc4 h5 37.Kc1 Rd4 38.Kc2 Kf6 39.Rh7 Ke6 40.Kb3!

After the first game the Grunfeld is no surprise anymore but Anand still deviates from the main lines. This modest pawn advance might promise the advantage for White as it helps to build a strong pawn center and avoid the exchange of the knights on c3. However, it also weakens White's position and stops the natural development of the knight so Black should be able to get counter chances.] 3...d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nb6 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.Be3 0-0 8.Qd2 [

a very interesting game. Black has been clearly better prepared, but strangely enough missed a very easy draw and find themselves in a very difficult endgame.

Anand seems to continue being not in a Top shape. 1) He has been today in a small time trouble and 2) He missed quite an easy win with 34. d7. Usually the World Champion is not letting such opportunities away!]
