Anand,Viswanathan (2792) – Carlsen,Magnus (2863) [D85]
World Championship, Sochi (1), 08.11.2014

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.Bd2 Smyslov liked to play this solid system. 5…Bg7 6.e4 Nxc3 6…Nb6 7.Be3 0-0 8.f4 actually transfers to the sharp system with 3.f3 after 3…d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nb6 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.Be3 0-0 8.f4 7.Bxc3 0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6 A new idea by Carlsen. 8…c5 9.d5 Bxc3 10.bxc3 e6 11.d6 e5 12.h4 Be6 13.Nh3 Qxh4 has been played with a complicated game in Anand-Hammer, Stavanger 2013 9.Nf3 Bg4 10.d5 Bxf3 11.Bxg7 Kxg7 12.gxf3 Ne5 13.0-0-0 c6 14.Qc3 f6 15.Bh3 Not 15.dxc6 Qb6 16.cxb7 Rab8 and Black gets good play on the b-file and c-file. 15…cxd5

How should White recapture on d5?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16.exd5! 16.Rxd5?! Qb6 and Black has all the play. 16…Nf7 17.f4 Qd6 18.Qd4 Rad8 With the idea to play e7-e5 which White promptly stops. 19.Be6 Qb6 20.Qd2 20.Qxb6 axb6 is only in Black’s interest. 20…Rd6 21.Rhe1 Nd8 22.f5 Nxe6 23.Rxe6 Qc7+ 24.Kb1 Rc8 With the deadly threat 25…Rxd5! 26.Qxd5 Qc2+ and mate next move. 25.Rde1 Rxe6 26.Rxe6 Rd8 27.Qe3 Rd7 28.d6 Anand steers the game towards a draw. 28…exd6 29.Qd4 Rf7 30.fxg6 hxg6 31.Rxd6 a6 32.a3 Qa5 33.f4 Qh5 34.Qd2 Qc5 35.Rd5 Qc4 36.Rd7 Qc6 37.Rd6?! 37.Rd5 or 37.Rd4 looks safer to prevent the Black queen from a strong centralization. 37…Qe4+ 38.Ka2 Re7 39.Qc1

How can Black put some pressure on White?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

39…a5! 40.Qf1 a4 White’s king has more problems than Black’s but Anand manages to defend successfully with some help from Carlsen. 41.Rd1 Qc2 42.Rd4 Re2?! More critical was 42…Re3! with the immediate threat 43…Rxa3+. White can try 43. Rd7+ Kh6 44.Rxb7 Rb3 45.Rxb3 axb3+ 46.Ka1 Qxh2 but the queen ending is in Black’s favour. 43.Rb4 b5 44.Qh1 Re7 45.Qd5 Re1 46.Qd7+ Kh6 47.Qh3+ Kg7 48.Qd7+ 1/2-1/2 A reasonable good game for both players to start the World Championship.
