There really  was not any need to put the knight on f4." (Nakamura) 18. e2f4  18... a5a4  19. a1c1  19... b6d7  20. c1c2  20... d7f8  21. f4g2 "A ridiculous move."  (Nakamura) 21... f8e6  22. f3h4 That is a real mistake. 22... f5f4 Anand would not miss a chance to bring his bishops into the battle. White completely underestimated this. 23. d3g6  23... h7g6  24. g3f4  24... a8g8 Now the knights which have to defend each  other become fragile. 25. g1h1  25... g6g5  26. f4g5  26... e6g5  27. f2f3 Obviously, White believed he is in time  for e3-e4 with huge counterplay but: 27... f6e6 A very strong  maneuver according to Nakamura: "It is already very bad for White if not  tactically lost." 28. c2e2  28... e6d7 Anand left the danger zone with his  king and can take care of the knights. 29. e3e4  29... h8h5  30. e4e5 "I played this  for really no good reason."

(Nakamura) 34. g2h4  34... h5h4  35. e2g2 Black is still winning but it is easier to play  this as White. 35... h4h7  36. b2b3  36... c6c5  37. e5e6 Now it gets very tricky due to the big liquidation of material. 37... d7e7  38. d4c5  38... f7e6  39. f5e6  39... e7e6  40. g2g6  40... e6e5  41. c5c6  41... b7c6  42. g6c6 Too many pawns have been traded and  this makes White's task easier. 42... c7d6  43. b3a4 "It is already very hard for Black to win, although he should  still be winning." (Nakamura) 43... h7a7  44. c6c2  44... a7a4  45. h2h4 "Now it is very hard to co-ordinate the pieces (for Black.)"

However, in the time trouble an  opportunity occurs again for the world champion. 53. h3h5  53... d5c4  54. e2c2  54... c4d3  55. c2c6  55... d6f4  56. c6f6  56... f4e3  57. g2f3 Now White held with confidence. 57... h7a7  58. a5a6  58... h6f7  59. h5b5  59... f7g5  60. f3g4  60... g5e4  61. f6g6  61... a7a8
