1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... d7d5 No major tournament passes without the Catalan Opening being played. 4. g2g3  4... d5c4  5. f1g2  5... c7c5 There are many ways to face the Catalan and Anand's choice is considered one of the best. 6. e1g1  6... b8c6  7. d1a4 Much more interesting, at least for viewers, than 7.dxc5, which leads to an endgame with a lot of draws. 7.Ne5 is also an interesting move. 7... c8d7  8. a4c4  8... b7b5  9. c4c3 Much less played than 9. Qd3, but the c3-square has been the choice of several strong GMs recently. 9... b5b4  10. c3d3 The queen's dribble has the undeniable merit of avoiding the c4 move for Black. 10... a8c8  11. d4c5  11... f8c5  12. b1d2  12... e8g8  13. d2b3  13... c5b6  14. c1e3 Up to now Harikrishna played very fast, indicating he was still \"in book.\" 14... c6e7 A new move. Based on the time Anand took to play it, I suppose it was more of an over-the-board inspiration than a prepared novelty. 15. f3e5  15... d7a4  16. d3d8
