Veselin Topalov - Vishy Anand
WCC 2010 Round 8 04.05.2010
3.Nf3 c6 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 5.a4 Bf5 4.Nc3 NF6 6.Ne5 e6 7.f3 So far the game is a Slavic variant of the same 3rd and the 5th game, both finished draws.
7 ... 8.e4 c5 9.Be3 cxd4 10.Qxd4 Qxd4 BG6 Again Anand is happy to change the women to resist accepting the challenge in a slightly lower end. 1
1.Bxd4 Nfd7 12.Nxd7 Nxd7 13.Bxc4 RC8
A new move in relation to previous games, where Anand had played 13. ... a6. Once again, Anand is the first to deviate. However, Topalov answered quickly.
15.Bxd7 + 14.Bb5 a6 16.Ke2 Kxd7
So far both players have lightning, but now Anand dips in the reflection.
The White seems to have a slight advantage, due to:
a) development of the parts: all the white pieces are out and ready for action;
b) the benefit of space. What should
Anand?
a) Move the pawn on f6 g6 to develop the bishop;
b) bring out all the other pieces as soon as possible.
16. ... F6 Nero must solve the problem of alpha in g6.
17. Rhd1
So far the players are following the match-Maletin Amonatov: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 dxc4 5.a4 Bf5 6.Ne5 NF6 4.Nc3 e6 7.f3 c5 8.e4 BG6 9. BE3 cxd4 10.Qxd4 Qxd4 11.Bxd4 Nbd7 14.Bb5 a6 12.Nxd7 Nxd7 13.Bxc4 RC8 Kxd7 15.Bxd7 + 16.Ke2 f6 18.Rac1 RC6 17.Rhd1 Ke8 21.Bb6 e5 19.Na2 Rxc1 20.Nxc1 BE7 22.Nd3 Bf7 23.Rc1 Ke7 25.Rc8 Bd8 24.a5 Ke8 28.Ke3 Kf8 26.Rb8 + BC4 27.Rxb7 BE7 30.b4 h6 29.Bc5 BB5 31.Rb6 BC4 32.Rb7 + 33.Nxc5 Bxc5 34.Rc7 Kd8 KG8 35 . RC6 BB5 36.Rb6 h5 37.h3 BC4 38.Nxa6 + 39.Kf2 Rd2 + 40.Ke1 RD3 RE2 Rxg2 + 41.Kd1 Kh7 42.Nc5 RA2 43.a6 46.a7 h4 45.Rb7 KH6 44.Kc1 Kg5 47.Kb1 KF4 g5 48.b5 1-0 49.Na6
17. ... Ke8
Black has the pair of bishops, but they are also its main problem. Black can compacted only if it can develop both the tower and pull fuer h8. The interesting thing is to note that the computer analysis is of little help in such a position: there are simply too many variables to calculate. Here only the instinct of a human player can direct it toward the right plan to follow.
Topalov now has to decide how to act. In another match between Amonatov Bocharov and 2007, this flap over, White had played here 18. BB6.
18. a5N
The first news of the game. The general idea is to prevent White's natural development of the pieces blacks, for example, BB4, Ke7, Rhd8, Bf7 and therefore e5. This finish is interesting because it is often Topalov managed to turn in even smaller benefits of this victory, while Anand was unable to resist and flap positions are even worse than this. Black is already under watch for 20 minutes.
I remember thinking time for this match is 120 'x 40 moves + 60 'x 20 moves + 15 + 30 to end the game "increment per move starting from the 61st move.
18. ... The BE7
Black can not play 18. ... BC5, which White would answer 19. Bxc5 Rxc5 and now 20. Rac1 (after 20. NA4 Black has 20 ... Rc2) with the idea that after 20. ... Rxa5? 21. NA4! strips the lagging An alternative was to analyze the Black BB4 with the idea and Be8 Ke7-b5.
Many beautiful photos of the match can be found here .
19.
BB6 Immediate response to Topalov, which suggests that the position been studied carefully by the Bulgarian and his team in home preparation. Anand is back for more than 25 minutes on the clock. The problem is that if the Indian Kf7 then Rd7, and white is a clear edge. Keep in mind that Black can not castle, having already moved the king
19. ... Rf8 a move "odd", but understandable to find a way of development. Black can not even move the King from the column and, because dele mantenre d7 house under control.
The Black intends to play f5-f4 g6 in order to create alpha, or play and Rf7 Kf8. Or Rf7 BF8 and, although this system seems a bit 'challenging.
20. Rac1 For the first time, Topalov spends the time to think about a move, about 15 minutes in this case. The idea is to play
NA4, to change the Tower c8 in and exploit the absence of blacks on the pieces of a Woman.
20. ... F5 21. e5
Anand finds it difficult to pull off the tower on the column, then the White close the game. Now if 21. ... BG5 22. BE3 + =
21. ... BG5 22. BE3
Anand does not seem to fear the return of the pioneers camposcuro, it will have in mind?
22. ... F4
's what! Topalov has now, however, available to 23. Rxc1 Nb5 24. ND6 + KD7 25. Or
Bxc1 + = 23. NE4: Black has to take, then Rxc1 24. ND6 + KD7 25. Bxc1 and Black has to protect the b pawn with the King, for example 25. ... Kc6 26. BD2 BE7 27. KD7 Rc1 + 28. BB4 Bxd6 (with the idea that if Bxd6 then Rc8) 29. Kd8 Rd1 30. Rxd6 Kc7 31. Rxe6 Ke8 changing the towers and reaching a final with an extra pawn for White but with the bishops of opposite color.
23. NE4 Rxc1 24. ND6 +
White is right, Black has yet to solve all problems.
24 ... KD7 25.Bxc1 After Kc7 or Kc6 RD4 White can also play with the idea of \u200b\u200bplaying RC4 or RB4 or g3, a multi-function smart move!
25 ... Kc6
Black is in a very difficult position.
26. BD2 BE7
Anand wants to change the standard-bearers, even if it means losing the f4 pawn, to enter into a final against the bishops.
is an important point to remember: some move is after 22. BE3, if Black had changed the standard bearers camposcuro the dynamics of the game would have been completely different. The white would have had a big advantage going into the final with his horse against the weak bishop g6.
Another thing to keep in mind the importance of this game is that Topalov after Game 4, was very difficult psychological conditions. Losing two games with Nero after winning the opening game is heavy. After the first draw obtained in the 6 th game in the 7th Topalov played all out to win with White. So even if Topalov is below a point, it seems that confidence is recovering at this stage of the match. This is why this game is so important: If Topalov scored a victory, the inertia of the match passed into his hands. Anand also knows that Topalov is a great "finisseur" of tournaments and matches.
As in all sports, even in chess inertia is an important factor. Think of Fischer in 1972. After starting with the handbrake on, Fischer did not ever relaxed after a victory and continued to exploit the inertia of the best.
Chess analysis is not only home-made with the help of Fritz and Rybka.
27. Rc1 + KD7
White is still ahead. Anand's plan is simple: change the Towers, and e7 bishop for the knight. Here is a possible continuation: 28. BB4 Bxd6 29. Rd1 Kc8 30. Rxd6 + / -
28.Bc3 Unexpected. Topalov prefers not to hunt the pedestrian but continue to exert pressure, for example Bxd6 29. Kd8 Rd1 30. Rxd6 Ke7 31. RB6 32 Rd7. BB4 + Bd6 and then dominating the position. 28 seemed interesting. BB4.
28 ... Bxd6 29.Rd1 Bf5 30. h4
The White did not rush to recapture the bishop on d6, so do not go anywhere. The idea is to prevent h4 g5 f4 to protect pedestrians. Topalov wants to take the bishop with the pawn and BE5 after play f4 to attack. The Dark Tower can not defend the pawn and the column c at the same time, after which White plays with the threat of Rc1 Rc7.
Both players have plenty of time to: Anand has about 45 minutes for 10 moves Topalov and has more than one hour.
30. ... G6 Topalov inviting you to make a choice.
31. Rxd6 + Kc8 Topalov finally decided to take the Tower, then. Now if BD2 f4 pawn is doomed to fall.
32. BD2
Now the weight of the game is all about Anand, who must endure a final with the bishops of opposite color, but with a pawn less.
32. ... Kd8
Now it is interesting the following line: 33. RB6 not to change the towers and if Black plays 33. ... RD5, then after 34. Bxf4 Rxa5 35. White gains a pawn on g4 e6. But Black can play 33. ... RD4, protecting the pawn f4. However, it is interesting to evaluate the position that comes from 32. ... Kd8 33. Bxf4 Rxd6 34. exd6? It's a draw so clear? Or the White still has a chance, for example with the plan to bring the King and therefore e5 f6 g7-to force Black to play h7-h5, then bring the King to play g2-g4 and g5 to create a second pedestrian past.
33. Bxf4 Rxd6 34. exd6 KD7 35. The threat is KE3
Kd4-e5-f6. The game promises to be long, Topalov will try in every way to bring home the point, while Anand can only play for a draw. The theme for White is always to try to create a second passed pawn, the only way to win this final.
BC2 35 ... 36. Kd4
Ke8 37. Ke5 Kf7 38. BE3 BA4
White has really chance of winning? Or to just move back and forth Black his bishop? Maybe Topalov has some hidden idea in mind?
39. KF4 BB5 40. BC5
Topalov has reached the time control at move 40 degrees advanced with more than 30 minutes. Anand has 10 minutes to the 40th.
40. ... Kf6
OK, passed the inspection of the time, it's time to evaluate the position.
Topalov seems to have a specific plan, but may continue to gradually improve its position, while Anand has the difficult task of defending themselves accurately.
41.Bd4 +
Topalov You can try to bring more problems to Anand, I remember it about half an hour less time on the clock. To consider here the sacrifice 41. ... E5 + e6 to leave the house for the King in a blitz game, a sacrifice of this kind is certainly the first thing to do, given the position, but a World Cup is better to check twice - or three or four - that everything is correct:)
41. ... Kf7 42. Kg5 Anand does not want to take risks.
42. BC6 Kg5 43. KH6 KG8 44. h5 Be8 45. Kg5 Kf7 43. 46. KH6 KG8 47. BC5
Topalov tries to create a situation of Zugzwang here for Black but Black has gxh5 and KH8.
47. ... gxh5 48. Kg5 KG7 49. BD4 + Kf7
Topalov test 'a bit of everything "hoping for a mistake of Anand. Unless the latter, the flap is now secure.
50. BE5 h4
The pedestrian is still lost, but then the Black earns a little 'room for its King
51. Kxh4 KG6 52. KG4 BB5 53. KF4
It reveals the plan Topalov: groped to bring the King to c7 to put the Black in Zugzwang and force him to give up the pawn b7, then, pushing f4-f5, create a second passed pawn. The black pawns can not attack the white king's wing with his bishop, because it must defend the e6 pawn.
53. ... Kf7 54. BC6 Kg5 55. KH6 KG8 56. Topalov g4
Change Plan.
Anand leaves!
Incredible!
Black can not take because of f3 d7, also has a serious problem in dealing with the advance of White g5, Bg7, g6. However, leave it, without seeing if Topalov was able to find the right plan!
Absolutely applaud the match Topalov!
has long sought to exploit very slight advantage, but Anand defended well and has successfully entered into a final with the bishops of opposite color. Now the score is 4-4 and the next games will herald burning!
1-0
UPDATE
Anand Where did wrong? Maybe 54 ... BC6 was not accurate. Perhaps Black should play 54 ... BD3. White can not play because of d7 Ke7.
If you wonder why Anand has abandoned it, that's the likely continuation of the match: 56.g4 57.g5 Be8 58.Bg7 BD7 BD7 60.Kxg6 hxg6 59.g6, and Black can not prevent the advance of White: 60 ... + 61.Kf6 Be8 62.Ke7 BD7 BC6 63.d7 Bxd7 64.Kxd7 Kxg7 65.Kxe6.
Now the score is 4-4 Anand-Topalov.
