White is playing on the kingside and Black on the opposite  wing, disregarding where the opponent is going to castle. 11... d7b6  12. e1g1  12... c8d7  13. e2d1 A novelty and a nice, multifunctional move.  Anand can regroup his pieces now in various ways, like Nc2-e2-g3 or  Qd2-f2-g3, but above all he can bring his light-squared bishop into the  game with c2-c3 and Bd1-c2 to support the f4-f5 advance. 13... g7g6  14. h2h3  14... d8c7 Kramnik prepares the king evacuation on the  queenside. 15. e3f2 While Anand uses the weakened d8-h4 diagonal to offer a favorable bishop trade. 15... h7h6 A useful move that adds control  to the g5-square and sets up a nice trap. 16. c3e2 White is alert. 16... a6a5  17. c2c3  17... e8c8  18. f2h4  18... e7h4  19. f3h4
