Anand starts with characteristic d4
World Chess Champion, Vishwanathan Anand started his campaign against seasoned Israeli, Boris Gelfand, in his popular d4 opening leading to Gruenfeld by Boris in the World Chess Championship being played at Moscow. The game continued with 3...d5 4. Nf3 Bg75. cxd5 Nxd5 6. e4 Nxc37. bxc3 c5 8. Bb5+ Nc6 9. d5 Qa5 (surprising move by Boris and Anand took time to make the next move)10. Rb1 a6 (attacking the bishop at b5, this move would be deeply analyzed by experts after the post match conference) 11. Bxc6+ bxc6 12. 0-0 Qxa2 13. Rb2 Qa5 14. d6 Ra7 (almost forced) 15. Bg5 exd6 16. Qxd6 Rd7 17. Qxc6 Qc7 18. Qxc7 Rc7 19. Bf4 Rb7 20. Rc2 0-0 21. Bd6 Re8 22.Nd2 f5 23.f3 fxe4 24.Nxe4 Bf5 1/2-1/2 and both agreed for a draw.
Looked like one of the home preparations of Boris. Rumor has it that his good friend, Levon Aronian helped him in his preparations. Boris has quite a number of players in his seconds who are good at Gruenfeld.
Anand has to go back to his preparation now. What seemed like an advantage to the white earlier just fizzled out. He has to do a lot of homework before he comes back tomorrow.
