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. 15... e7b4 The machine does not approve this, but what else? 16. b3c4  16... d5c4  17. e2e4 The central passers are ready to smash everything  that gets in their way. 17... a6a5  18. c3b5  18... f6h5  19. f4e3  19... c8d7  20. e5d7  20... d8d7  21. a2a4 Now Anand gets a chance. 21... h5f6  22. d4d5  22... b6a4 A strong idea that leads to serious  complications and thus excellent practical chances for Black. 23. c2a4  23... f6e4  24. g2e4  24... e8e4  25. b5c3 Simply fixing the extra material. 25... d7a4  26. c3a4  26... b7b5 Gelfand won a piece, but the huge queenside pawn mass is scary, to say the least.
