EditĂśrden Anand – Gelfand dĂźnya satranç birinciliÄ&#x;i maçĹ, 11. ve 12. oyunlarÄąn yeniĹ&#x;mezlikle sonuçlanmasÄąndan sonra 6 – 6 bitti. Rakipler sadece birer oyunda birbirlerine karĹ&#x;Äą ĂźstĂźnlĂźk saÄ&#x;layabildiler; 10 oyunda yeniĹ&#x;emediler.

This unusual move was introduced by David Bronstein 55 years ago and later regularly used by Victor Korchnoi and Ratmir Kholmov. As in the main line 8. ..cxd4 9. exd4 b6, in which Anand faced serious problems in game 9, Black is going to develop his bishop to the long diagonal but here he is not in a hurry to give way for the opponent's dark-squared bishop. On the other side, the c6–square may give White some extra possibilities...]

WCh Moscow (11), 26.05.2012 [Chess Evolution,Taner,Harun]
8...Bd7! [and here comes the novelty! I think a very smart decision by Anands team. The move 8...Bd7 is a very rare move and also completely forgotten. Almost never has been played on a top level - and actually the move might be even objectively a very interesting idea! Other advantage of the move is, here are no forced lines and we are in the 11th game of the match. It is clear, that both players are very tired and probably are not able anymore to find a deep refutation of some tricky line.]
[Finally Anands team is on the top and managed to surprise Gelfand in the opening, which gave him big advantage in time and probably self-confident as well. After reaching a minimally better endgame for White, Gelfand is pushing himself into troubles, by leaving only 15 minutes on the clock for the last 16 moves and at the end already a bit unpleasant position - in this moment Anand offers a draw. Strange - oh, yes. There is only one big question remaining, has Anand made a bluff by playing 13...Qa5 on which White could have played 14. e4! In case Yes -a great bluff! Very brave! In case not, I do not see how Black can avoid troubles.]
9.a3 [Played after a long thinking.] [A logical move like 9.Bd3 meets by 9...cxd4 10.exd4 Bc6 is probably nothing for White. The main Black problem in the isolany structures is the bishop on c8. Now it is already on c6, so in my opinion Black should be fine here.; 9.Bd2 would be countered by the same 9...cxd4 10.Nxd4 Nc6 Black finished his development, which means - he is doing fine!; 9.d5 this move would be a clear mistake 9...Bxc3! 10.dxe6 Bxe6 11.Bxe6 fxe6 12.bxc3 Qxd1 13.Rxd1 Ne4 and we are in an endgame, which can never be better for White. The White pawn structure a2–c3 will give Black always a good counter play!]

N5f6 20.Qh4 hxg5 21.Bxg5! a cool and strong move 21...Ne4 no other defence against the mating threats 22.Bxe4 Bxe4 23.Qxe4 and I think that White got pretty good chances here to be clearly better) 19.Qg4 with a very dangerous attack.; 14.Bd2 Be4!= would solve all Blacks problems. White doesnt got the "key" move Qc2]
14.c4 [Gelfand "trusts" the preparation of Anand, but the move c4 clearly shows, that Black is doing fine now.]
14...cxd4 [I think this move is by far not forced, but Black got a clear plan in his head] [14...Rfd8 is looking normal as well, now on 15.Bb2 (15.Bd2 Qc7 and Black is fine as well) 15...cxd4! is already much stronger, the bishop on b2 is standing clearly worse than on f4 - in comparison to the game]
[14.e4! this is the move, I have been very curious about! Can Black take now on c3!? In case not - White reached everything he could. 14...Qxc3 there is no way back (14...c4 is looking nice but 15.Bc2 Qxc3 16.Rb1! a very strong move-even if not an easy one. White wants to play Rb4 now and catch the Queen by Bb2 next. 16...Qa5 17.e5 Nd5 18.Qxc4 winning back the pawn, and it is getting obvious, that White is doing much better. White is going to launch an enormous attack against the king.) 15.Bd2 Qb3 and we are in the critical position. White got many options now, but let us focus on the main 2 of them 16.a4! (also 16.Rab1!? Qa4 17.Rdc1! seems to give White quite a dangerous initiative. White wants to play Rc4, followed by e5 and dxc5 so the rook from c4 is getting into the attack on the Black king. To be honest, I could not find an easy solution for Black here, but the position requires further analyses.) 16...Qb6 the only move to save the Queen, White wanted to play Rdb1 17.e5 Nd5 18.Ng5 and White is starting the direct attack (18.Qe4!? is a very strong alternative 18...g6 19.Qh4 Black can hardly hold the threats.) 18...g6 (18...h6

Aronian: That's a very interesting move from Vishy. I've never seen it before, but I've got a sneaky suspicion that something similar was played during the first game of the Spassky-Fischer match in Reykjavik. The one where Fischer went h2. I can't remember the exact sequence of moves, but something tells me that that's what it is. It's an extremely interesting move and you can tell it's the World Championship, that it's the strongest players in the world out there, and that they have a great deal of very serious ideas.]
