The machine does not approve this, but what else?
1. d2d4  1... g8f6  2. c2c4  2... e7e6  3. g1f3  3... d7d5  4. g2g3  4... f8b4  5. c1d2  5... b4e7  6. f1g2  6... e8g8  7. d1c2  7... b8d7  8. h2h4 Another fresh idea by Gelfand. 8... c7c5 A classical reaction to the kingside expansion. 9. c4d5  9... e6d5  10. b1c3 White already threatens Nf3-g5 followed by a capture on d5; therefore, Anand played 10... f8e8 which frees the f8-square for the second knight. 11. e1g1  11... h7h6 Alas, Black could not save this tempo. 12. d2f4 The opening result is favorable for the first player. He has a  harmonious development and better prospects in the center. 12... a7a6  13. a1d1  13... c5c4 Naturally, Black cannot afford to open the center. 14. f3e5  Gelfand forces a concession. 14... d7b6 Otherwise, Black cannot complete development. But now that  the knight is blocking the b-pawn, 15. b2b3 becomes even more unpleasant  for the second player.
