1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... d7d6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... g8f6  5. b1c3  5... a7a6  6. g2g3 A quiet but not bad line at all against the Najdorf. 6... e7e5  7. d4b3  7... f8e7  8. f1g2  8... e8g8  9. e1g1  9... b8c6  10. h2h3  10... h7h6 "Slightly inaccurate way to move pawns forward" (Anand). 11. c1e3  11... c6a5 The trade of the knight is good for Black as he would not  need to retreat with it once an exchange happens on d5. 12. b3a5  12... d8a5  13. d1d2 With the threat of Nc3-d5. 13... a5c7  14. a2a4  14... c8e6  15. a4a5  15... a8c8  16. f1c1 The key move in this variation and a favorite of  the twelfth world champion Karpov (who picked it up from his great coach  Geller). Instead of mindlessly occupying the half-open d-file, Anand put  the rook where it would actually work. After the white knight jumps on d5, the pawn on c2 would be first of all defended and also supported to move  forward to c4-c5 and beyond. 16... f8e8  17. c3d5  17... e6d5  18. e4d5  18... f6h7 Intending Be7-g5. 19. h3h4 Which rejects this  possisbility. Now Black's only hope is the counterplay after: 19... f7f5 But White is faster with: 20. c2c4  20... f5f4  21. g3f4 The most aggressive reaction. 21... e7h4  22. c4c5 It is all about the speed of these pawns. As Anand mentioned in the brief post-game interview, Black will always have some  counterplay left on the kingside (due to the open position of the white  king). 22... c8d8  23. c5c6  23... c7f7  24. a1a4 Another typical but nice maneuver. The rook is helping with the  defense of the kingside, but it is also ready for the attack of the  b7-pawn. 24... e5f4  25. a4f4  25... h4f6  26. f4b4  26... e8e7  27. d2c2 Anand felt that this was the winning maneuver. White finally  makes it to the b7-pawn. 27... f6g5  28. e3g5  28... h7g5 Nepomniachtchi is  desperately looking for a way to discover the enemy king. 29. f2f4  29... g5h7  30. c2b3  30... h7f8  31. b4b7  31... e7b7  32. b3b7 The queenside battle is over. The only question:  Is the black queen powerful enough to arrange a perpetual. 32... f7f4  33. c1f1  33... f4e3  34. g1h1 Apparently, there is no perpetual, and Anand is winning. 34... d8e8  35. b7f7  35... g8h7  36. f7f5  36... f8g6  37. c6c7  37... e3c5  38. g2e4  38... e8e4
