1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... b8c6  3. f1b5  3... e7e6  4. c2c3 A rare move, compared to the more popular 4.0-0 or 4.Bxc6. 4... d7d5 A critical reply. 5. e4d5  5... d8d5 Capturing with the pawn is equally popular. 6. e1g1  6... c8d7  7. f1e1 An almost new idea, played only in two games. 7... g8f6  8. b5f1 This is a theoretical novelty. With the bishop on f1, Anand is ready to play d2-d4. 8... f8d6  9. d2d4  9... e8g8  10. h2h3 Probably played to reduce the queen's scope if it goes to h5. 10... c5d4  11. c3d4  11... c6e7  12. b1c3  12... d5a5  13. f3e5  13... d7c6 On the board, we have a position with an isolated queen's pawn, one of the most important pawn structures in chess. Black has firm control over the d5-square, but his queen is in potential danger. The game is equal. 14. c1f4 Threatening 15.Nc4. 14... d6b4 [%c_effect b4;square;b4;type;Mistake;persistent;true] Black is in trouble after this move, thanks to Anand's excellent reply. 15. a2a3 [%c_effect a3;square;a3;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] It turns out that the c3-pawn cannot be captured, and Black is now forced to give up the bishop pair and improve White's pawn structure. 15... b4c3  16. b2c3  16... c6a4  17. d1f3  17... a8c8 [%c_effect c8;square;c8;type;Inaccuracy;persistent;true] Another mistake in a difficult position. 18. f3b7 [%c_effect b7;square;b7;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Anand shows good calculation and is not afraid of capturing the pawn. 18... e7d5  19. f4d2 [%c_effect d2;square;d2;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 19... c8b8  20. e5c4 [%c_effect c4;square;c4;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 20... a5d8  21. b7a7  21... b8a8  22. a7b7  22... a8b8  23. b7a6  23... a4b5  24. a6d6 White is two pawns up and has the bishop pair. The position is winning. 24... d8c8  25. d6c5  25... c8c5  26. d4c5  26... b5c4  27. f1c4  27... f8c8  28. c4f1 [%c_effect f1;square;f1;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] Preparing to advance the c-pawn. 28... b8b2  29. d2c1  29... b2c2  30. c3c4  30... d5e7  31. a3a4  31... e7c6  32. a4a5  32... f6d7  33. c1e3  33... d7e5  34. a1a4
