Anand (N/A) vs. Kasparov (N/A)

Chess opening:
Sicilian (B78), dragon, Yugoslav attack, 10.O-O-O
|
|

15... b5
|
Black supports his Rook and this moves shows his willingness to start up a Queenside attack. I recommend 15. Re8 though because when White plays (and what he did in da game) 16.Bh6 Black can keep the powerful and also the King's defender by playing 16. Bh8. |

16. Bh6 Qa5
|
This moves allows the Rook on f8 to go to c8 and double up. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Bxg7 Kxg7
|
With the dark squared Bishop gone, Kasparov's Queen-side attack prospects will be reduced, a lot. On the other hand Black's position is fairly solid. White must avoid, at all costs! 17. Nd5?? Qxd2 18. Nxe7 Kh7
19. Bxd2 then 19.Re8 20. Nd5 Nxd5 wins a piece because of the pin.
( Palatnik). |

Another Knight glares at the d5 square. |

18... Rfc8 19. Ncd5

19... Qxd2
|
Black's Queen was hanging so Kasparov exchanged Queens. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Rxd2
|
Recapture. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Nxd5 21. Nxd5 Kf8
|
The e7 pawn was hanging. The King now supports the pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
22. Re1
|
To discourage Black from playing 22.f5 |
|
| |
|
|
22... Rb8
|
Not a good idea. 22. R4c5! prepares 23.a5. However 22. a5?? played right away loses the exchange due to 23. Nb6 and both the Rooks are forked by the Knight. |
|
| |
|
|
23. b3
|
White is slowly improving his position. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Rc5
|
|
|
| |
|
|
24. Nf4
|
An odd move, because the Knight was very well placed on d5. Better was the natural 24. Kb2 and 24.a5 is met by 25.a3. |

24... Rbc8
|
The Rook comes back again! |
|
| |
|
|
25. Kb2
|
Natural because White is almost meeting the endgame. |
|
| |
|
|
25... a5
|
The pawn rushes forward. |
|
| |
|
|
26. a3
|
To stop Black playing 26.b4 |
|
| |
|
|
26... Kg7 27. Nd5
|
White should have played 27. Re3 f6 28.c3 Kf7 29. Rd1 White can then play b3-b4 making Black's b-pawn a forever target and at the right time create a passed pawn on the Queenside. |

28. b4

? Kasparov said he expected to see 28. Nxe7 Re8 29. Nd5 Bxd5 30. b4 axb4 31. axb4 Rc4 32. Rxd5 Rxb4 ( Not 32. Rec8? 33. c3 Rxc3 34. Re2)
33. Kc1 f5 which leads to a drawn position. |
