Anand – Gelfand dünya satranç birinciliği

maçı, 11. ve 12. oyunların yenişmezlikle

sonuçlanmasından sonra 6 – 6 bitti. Rakipler

sadece birer oyunda birbirlerine karşı üstünlük

sağlayabildiler; 10 oyunda yenişemediler.

Dünya birincisi yarınki hızlı ve yıldırım tempoda

oynanacak eşitlik bozma karşılaşmaları ile

belirlenecek.

This unusual move was introduced by

David Bronstein 55 years ago and later

regularly used by Victor Korchnoi and

Ratmir Kholmov. As in the main line 8.

..cxd4 9. exd4 b6, in which Anand faced

serious problems in game 9, Black is going

to develop his bishop to the long diagonal

but here he is not in a hurry to give way for

the opponent's dark-squared bishop. On the

other side, the c6–square may give White

some extra possibilities...]

9.a3 [9.Qe2 is the main alternative but it

might be a transposition to the same line;

while 9.dxc5 has been played in the first

Bronstein encounters: 9...Bc6 10.Nb5 a6

being worried about his c5–pawn.]

initiative would be annoying) 13.Qc2 gave

White the edge in the game A. Lesiege - V.

Korchnoi, Montreal 2004; In case of

9...Bxc3 10.bxc3 Bc6 White can try to grab

another bishop by 11.Ne5!? and if 11...Bd5

(13.exd4!?) 13...Nc6 and here in the game

edge by 14.Nxc6 Bxc6 15.f3�]

10.Qe2 [After 10.dxc5 Bxc3 11.bxc3 Qa5

allow him to hope for advantage.]

Black has put his bishops on rather unusual

positions. Is Anand going to exchange both

of them for the opponent's knights, as he did

in the previous black game?! Hard to

believe as it would be too good for White...]

11.Rd1 Bxc3! [The right time to part with

one of the bishop to decrease his opponent's

influence in the center. By the way, this is a

novelty.]

[In case of 11...Nbd7 White would think

about 12.d5 exd5 13.Nxd5 with better

chances. The game L. Szabo - R. Kholmov,

Leningrad 1967 continued 13...Nb6

seized the initiative by the energetic 15.b4!

An interesting though a double-edged

approach.]

[13...Be4 seemed to be a decent choice but

after 14.c4 followed by Bc1–b2 White's

strong bishop on the long-diagonal would

still kept Black under some pressure.]

14.c4 [With only two games to play in the

match Gelfand does not want to take any

risk.]

[14.e4!? looked fairly interesting. White

could have seized the initiative but in some

lines he had to sacrifice a couple of pawns:

14...Qxc3 15.Bd2! (15.Bb2 Qa5) 15...Qb3

and now: 16.Rab1

a) 16.dxc5!? e5 (16...Nxc5?! 17.Bb4) 17.Be3;

22.Bxe4 Nxe4 23.Qxe4 Nf6 24.Qd3 with a

certain advantage though the outcome is

still far from clear)

though far more risky: 21.Bb4 Qa4

34.Qb1Ö and White keeps the initiative

though Black is not so bad) 21.Bb4 Qe8

22.Bd3´ Thanks to his strong pawn center

and very active pieces White keeps

excellent control over the position but Black

is solid enough. These brief analysis show

that the pawn push 14. e4!? would have

posed more problems for Black but at the

same time we could easily understand

Gelfand's reasonings to reject such

complications. Being already seriously

behind in time he could judge from quick

Anand's play that it could still be a part of

his opponent's home preparations...]

14...cxd4 15.exd4 Qh5 [This is a good

point behind Black's queen's manoeuvre to

a5. Otherwise it would be not so easy to

find a good square for the queen inside of

Black's camp while White would have

gotten more chances to apply a typical

strategy in the positions with "hanging

pawns", connected with central and kingside

activity, involving the thematic d4–d5 pawn

push...]

] 17.Ne5 [In the approaching time trouble

Gelfand goes for simplifications but the

main reason was, of course, that he had not

found other clear ideas to pose problems for

Black. For example, if Black had played

...b7–b6 then White would have thought

about a-pawn advance but here it would be

just harmless...]

17...Qxe2 18.Bxe2 Nxe5 19.Bxe5 Rfd8 [The ending is acceptable for Black.]

20.a4 [20.f3!? was worth considering but

then Black could have stopped opponent's

Queen-side play by 20...Nd7 21.Bg3 Nb6]

] 21.Rd3 [21.Bf1!? might have been more

promising but Black was okay: 21...f6

(21...Nc3?! was futile: 22.Rd3 Nxa4? 23.Rg3! g6 24.Rga33 as has been pointed

by Konstantin Sakaev) 22.Bf4 a6!?

(22...Nc3 was still risky though Black

would be able to hold on. For example,

23.Rdc1 (or 23.Rd3 Nxa4 24.Rda3 Rxd4

so on) 23.a5 Nd6 24.Rac1 Nf5„ with a good

play.] 21...f6 22.Bf4 Be8 23.Rb3 [In case

of 23.c5 Black could have forced further

simplifications: 23...e5 24.dxe5 Rxd3

25.Bxd3 Nxc5 26.Bc4+ Bf7 (Sakaev).]

23...Rxd4 24.Be3 Rd7 [Diagram

] [Black also had 24...Nc5 25.Rxb7! Nxb7

26.Bxd4 Nc5 27.Be3 a5 and White's c-

passer should not be dangerous; 24...Rd7

25.Bxa7 Nc5 with a good play is more

reliable so after retreat of the rook the

players agreed to a draw.]

½-½

[Chess Evolution,Taner,Harun]

[Finally Anands team is on the top and

managed to surprise Gelfand in the opening,

which gave him big advantage in time and

probably self-confident as well. After

reaching a minimally better endgame for

White, Gelfand is pushing himself into

troubles, by leaving only 15 minutes on the

clock for the last 16 moves and at the end

already a bit unpleasant position - in this

moment Anand offers a draw. Strange - oh,

yes. There is only one big question

remaining, has Anand made a bluff by

playing 13...Qa5 on which White could

have played 14. e4! In case Yes -a great

bluff! Very brave! In case not, I do not see

how Black can avoid troubles.]

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 [Just as in the 9th game

Anand is choosing the Nimzo, and I guess

here it was already clear, that Anands team

has prepared something new.]

3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 0-0 5.Bd3 d5 6.Nf3 c5

7.0-0 dxc4 8.Bxc4 [Diagram

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

till now nothing new, we are in the 9th

game of the match.]

8...Bd7! [and here comes the novelty! I

think a very smart decision by Anands team.

The move 8...Bd7 is a very rare move and

also completely forgotten. Almost never has

been played on a top level - and actually the

move might be even objectively a very

interesting idea! Other advantage of the

move is, here are no forced lines and we are

in the 11th game of the match. It is clear,

that both players are very tired and probably

are not able anymore to find a deep

refutation of some tricky line.]

9.a3 [Played after a long thinking.]

[A logical move like 9.Bd3 meets by

9...cxd4 10.exd4 Bc6 is probably nothing

for White. The main Black problem in the

isolany structures is the bishop on c8. Now

it is already on c6, so in my opinion Black

should be fine here.; 9.Bd2 would be

countered by the same 9...cxd4 10.Nxd4

Nc6 Black finished his development, which

means - he is doing fine!; 9.d5 this move

would be a clear mistake 9...Bxc3! 10.dxe6

Bxe6 11.Bxe6 fxe6 12.bxc3 Qxd1 13.Rxd1

Ne4 and we are in an endgame, which can

never be better for White. The White pawn

structure a2–c3 will give Black always a

good counter play!]

9...Ba5 [Quickly played by Anand.]

[Another option would have been 9...Bxc3

10.bxc3 Bc6 Black wants to play Nbd7 and

Qa5 after which position should be OK

11.Ne5! here is the key! Black is not in time

for Nbd7, which should guarantee an edge

for White. 11...Bd5 12.Be2! and again

1318


Black can not play 12... Nbd7 because of

13.c4! Be4 14.f3!]

10.Qe2 [10.dxc5 would destroy White's

structure 10...Bxc3 11.bxc3 Qa5 Black is

fine.]

10...Bc6 [Diagram

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

After 8...Bd7, this is the logical

development of the pieces.]

[After 10...Nc6 the bishop on d7 stands a bit

strange, White can continue simple with

11.Rd1]

11.Rd1 [Finally White threats to take on

c5]

11...Bxc3 [11...Nbd7? would be a big

positional mistake 12.Bd2! now the move is

getting very strong, since after 12...cxd4

13.Nxd4 Black can not avoid Nxc6, which

gives the bishop pair and a clearly better

position for White.]

12.bxc3 Nbd7 [Diagram

Till here, Anand spent not more than 5

minutes - whether his opponent more than

45.]

13.Bd3 [a very logical move. White wants

to mobilze his central pawns. The main idea

is to push e4!]

13...Qa5!? [Diagram

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

a very risky move by Black - which was

actually instantly played by the World

Champion - seems like, he still follows his

preparation.]

[The normal response would have been

13...Be4 which might give White some

1319


advantage after 14.Bxe4 Nxe4 15.Qc2! a

very important and not obvious move at all,

White is forcing Black into making

weaknesses 15...Ndf6 (it would be nice for

Black to play 15...Nef6 but after 16.e4 Whites position is a bit better) 16.c4 Qc7

17.Bb2 and White is doing slightly better,

the Black knights are somehow "half

pinned" and White got several ideas

connected with d4–d5 move.]

14.c4 [Gelfand "trusts" the preparation of

Anand, but the move c4 clearly shows, that

Black is doing fine now.]

[14.e4! this is the move, I have been very

curious about! Can Black take now on c3!?

In case not - White reached everything he

could. 14...Qxc3 there is no way back

(14...c4 is looking nice but 15.Bc2 Qxc3 16.Rb1! a very strong move-even if not an

easy one. White wants to play Rb4 now and

catch the Queen by Bb2 next. 16...Qa5

17.e5 Nd5 18.Qxc4 winning back the

pawn, and it is getting obvious, that White

is doing much better. White is going to

launch an enormous attack against the king.) 15.Bd2 Qb3 and we are in the critical

position. White got many options now, but

let us focus on the main 2 of them 16.a4!

(also 16.Rab1!? Qa4 17.Rdc1! seems to

give White quite a dangerous initiative.

White wants to play Rc4, followed by e5

and dxc5 so the rook from c4 is getting into

the attack on the Black king. To be honest, I

could not find an easy solution for Black

here, but the position requires further

analyses.) 16...Qb6 the only move to save

the Queen, White wanted to play Rdb1

17.e5 Nd5 18.Ng5 and White is starting the

direct attack (18.Qe4!? is a very strong

alternative 18...g6 19.Qh4 Black can

hardly hold the threats.) 18...g6 (18...h6

leading to a worse position as well after

19.Qe4! N5f6 20.Qh4 hxg5 21.Bxg5! a

cool and strong move 21...Ne4 no other

defence against the mating threats 22.Bxe4 Bxe4 23.Qxe4 and I think that White got

pretty good chances here to be clearly

better) 19.Qg4 with a very dangerous

attack.; 14.Bd2 Be4!= would solve all

Blacks problems. White doesnt got the

"key" move Qc2]

14...cxd4 [I think this move is by far not

forced, but Black got a clear plan in his

head] [14...Rfd8 is looking normal as well,

now on 15.Bb2 (15.Bd2 Qc7 and Black is

fine as well) 15...cxd4! is already much

stronger, the bishop on b2 is standing

clearly worse than on f4 - in comparison to

the game]

15.exd4 Qh5 [Diagram

the idea of Black is not to take on Bxf3

Qxf3 Qxf3 gxf3 after which White would

have a better endgame, but to prevent White

from playing Ne5 without the exchange of

the Queens.]

16.Bf4 Rac8 [in this position Gelfand had

a deep thought and went down to 40

minutes.]

1320


17.Ne5 [and the plan of Black is coming

true. The future endgame is not a dangerous

one. White is having a bishop pair - yes, but

the pawns c4–d4, are rather weaknesses

than strengths without the queens on board..

In this case, there are no potential attacking

ideas against the black king.] 17...Qxe2 18.Bxe2 Nxe5 19.Bxe5 Rfd8 [Diagram

and we reached an endgame, where I

thought, that probably we will see a very

early handshake, but some action is still

ahead!] 20.a4?! [a very risky move for

White. Probably Gelfand missed the 22th

move of Black.] [20.f3 to prevent the Ne4

ideas. 20...Ne8 followed by Kf8–Ke7

maybe f6, or maybe Nd6–Nf5. Position is

drawish. (20...Nd7 is an original idea

21.Bf4 Nb6 is also interesting, trying to

create pressure against the central pawns by

Ba4–b3) ] 20...Ne4 21.Rd3 [To prevent

c3, but on the other hand it leaves the c4

pawn without its guide. The World

Champion immediately makes use it.]

[A nice line appears after 21.Ra3 f6 22.Bf4

Bxa4! and Black is better 23.Rxa4?? Nc3 a

monster fork!]

21...f6 22.Bf4 Be8! [Diagram

the bishop is changing its diagonal! In this

position from his last 30 minutes Gelfand

thought for about 15 and played] 23.Rb3 [23.f3 would lead probably to a little bit

worse but drawish position : 23...Nd6

24.Bxd6 Rxd6 25.c5 Rdd8 26.Kf2 and the

king on e3 stands perfectly. White should

hold the draw.; 23.c5? would be a serious

mistake 23...Bg6! and White has no decent

defense against Nxc5! 24.Rad1 Nxc5!

25.dxc5 Bxd3 26.Bxd3 Rd5 27.Kf1 Rcxc5

Black gets 2 pawns and a rook for the 2

bishops. White is probably not lost, but he

must definitely suffer a lot for the draw.]

1321


and maybe the most surprising move of the

game - a draw offer by Black! So strange,

why now? Black is already doing slightly

better and White had only 13 minutes left

for the next 16 moves. Gelfand was a bit

upset as well, that from his nice-looking

position, suddenly he is slightly

worse...These are the mysteries of the WCC

match! :).]

[the game could have continued by 24...Rd7

25.Bxa7 Nc5 26.Rb4 (26.Bxc5 Rxc5 Black

is slightly better, due to his better

pawnstructure.; 26.Rb5 Rd2! 27.Rxc5 Rxc5 28.Bxc5 Rxe2 is of course drawish,

but Black could have pressed for a while.) 26...Nd3! 27.Bxd3 (27.Rb3 Ne5) 27...Rxd3 28.Rxb7 Bxa4 29.c5 Bc6 30.Rb8

Rxb8 31.Bxb8 Rc3 32.Bd6 g5 Such kind of

endgame could have arose, where Black can

improve a lot on his position by Kf7–g6, h5,

g4, and e5, while White has to wait

passively. But of course this kind of

advantage should not be enough to win.]

½-½


[Milos,Gilberto,Taner,Harun]

[At this point we have a match of two

games and taking risks is more difficult.

Let's see how Anand plays the last game.

He is more experienced than Gelfand in

world championship matches and he already

beat Karpov in the last game of a match

when he needed. Unfortunately he later lost

that match in the rapid game tiebreaks.]

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 0-0

Bc6. One of the differences is that Black

can preserve his bishop pair after a3,

This is the second Nimzo of the match and

in both games Anand has chosen the same

pawn structure with the same pieces

remaining. 0.25/0]

15...Qh5 [This is the complementary idea

behind Qa5. Now Black exchange queens or

can take on f3 weakening White's pawn

structure. 0.64/0]

about equal.; 16.Ne5? Qxe2 17.Bxe2 Nxe5

16...Rac8 [0.37/0]

[16...Bxf3 17.gxf3 is possible, riskier, and

more difficult to evaluate. White's structure

is a disaster but two bishops are better than

knights with a dynamic pawn structure. For

the public this continuation would have

been much more interesting but no one

wants to chance losing at this point of the

match.]

unnerved by the opening surprise or just

Aronian: That's a very interesting move

from Vishy. I've never seen it before, but

I've got a sneaky suspicion that something

similar was played during the first game of

the Spassky-Fischer match in Reykjavik.

The one where Fischer went h2. I can't

remember the exact sequence of moves, but

something tells me that that's what it is. It's

an extremely interesting move and you can

tell it's the World Championship, that it's the

strongest players in the world out there, and

that they have a great deal of very serious

ideas.]

una variante secundaria y poco jugada, en la

9a partida jugó 8....cxd4. Ad7 ha sido

jugada por jugadores como Yusupov y

Korchnoi. Tras pensar 40 minutos!! Gelfand

se decide por esta lógica jugada, parece que

Partie, doch mit] 8...Bd7 [schlug der

Weltmeister einen anderen Weg ein. Dieser

Zug wird deutlich seltener gespielt, gehört

aber definitiv zu den zahlreichen

Hauptvarianten des Nimzoinders. Ein

Freund dieses Läuferzuges ist

beispielsweise der legendäre Viktor
