First of all, I invite everyone to see on ChessBase analysis of the game 9 of the sixteen year old Indian GM Anish Giri, revealing many interesting details and surprising on what has so far been the biggest game of the long and tense match. The score is now
4.5/4.5 with only 3 games remaining. Topalov will have White in the race today and even 12 (the latest).

1. d4 NF6 2. c4 g6 3. NC3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5
Anand avoids the time and Slava Grunfeld back to the first game, but where he lost disastrously.
5. e4 Nxc3 6. bxc3 Bg7 7. BC4 c5 8. Ne2 NC6 9. BE3 OO 10. OO b6
For the first time in the match, Topalov does not move in lightning initiation. With its 11th move, Black is offering a virtual pawn: 11. dxc5 bxc5 12. Qxd8 Rxd8 13. Bxc5. In Game 1 Anand had played 10. ... NA5. The problem is that in this variation of the c3 pawn White remains very weak. Once that Black managed to recover, pedestrian facilities would come back perfectly symmetrical, making it very difficult victory for White. Anand to a draw in this match would certainly good. For this Topalov chose not to take and maintain an asymmetric position: do not want to waste the advantage of playing two games with White in the last 3.
11. Qd2 Bb7 12. Rac1 RC8
No surprise here. We are still known in the theory. Here White has a number of options logic: 13. Rfd1 13. f3, also 13. h4 has been proven.
13. Rfd1
Topalov is back 15 minutes on the clock. This does not mean who does not know this opening. It just means that is deciding what kind of position set to have the best chance of winning. This is a typical thought process of the grand masters of chess at this level, certainly not win because your opponent is giving you a piece. The choice is often based on the particular style of the opponent, in search of a position can put it in more psychological difficulties.
13. ... Cxd4 14. cxd4 Qd6
NA5 or 14 .... 14 ... e6 are also playable. The move chosen by Anand is the most flexible: if the game takes place in the center, the woman may withdraw b8 (and perhaps behind Alfa a8) and keep the pressure sull'arrocco White. The Queen can also wedge b4 in search of the exchange of Women. For the record, this is the first new theory of the game.
15. d5
With this move, the diagonal h1 - a8 is solidified and the horse is driven by c6.
15. ... Now is NA5
16. Bb5 that 16. BD3 are OK.
16. Bb5 Rxc1 17. Rxc1 RC8
Anand could also try the sharper 17 ... f5, the Indian does not want to take risks. I take this opportunity to remind you that you can follow the live streaming video direct to this link.
18. h3
The White wants to keep control of the column c to exploit the weakness of the house c6. Black, meanwhile, must look at the soon to be free with the thrust f5, undermining the central chain of white pedestrians.
18. ... Rxc1 + 19. Qxc1 e6
Anand is another interesting way to play the middle. Anand's plan is simply to change all the pieces and reach a final pact.
20. NF4
Topalov there is: starting with the complications!
If 20 ... exd5 21. Nxd5 Bxd5 22. BE5 Qd2 23. Nb7
exd5 20. ... Exd5 21. Nxd5
The Black could try 21 ... f5 22. BE5 Bf4 23. Bxe5 Qxe5 24. =
Qg5 21. ... F5 22. f3 fxe4 23. fxe4 Qe5
This move not only attacked the pedestrian as well as "threatening" the exchange of Women in a1 (assuming it is feasible at the tactical level).
24. BD3 NC6 25. BA6
Other options were blank 25.Kf1, QC4, QC2 and a4. Now Black had 25. ... ND4!, For example. 26.Qc4 + Qxd5 27.Qxd5 Bxd5 28.exd5 and the position appears sustainable for Black, but not exciting. Perhaps best 25 ... Bxa6 26.Qxc6 and then ... g5!? to prevent Bf4. After Bxa6 26.Qxc6 + QA1 + 27.Kh2 BE5 can follow 28.Bf4 Bxf4 29.Nxf4 Qe5 30.Qa8 + + and then 31.Qxa7.
25. ... ND4 26. QC4 Bxd5 27. Qxd5 Qxd5 + 28. BE5 exd5 29. Kf2 Kf7 30. BG5 Nf5 31. ND6 g4 32. KF3
central pawn past does not seem enough to win for White, Black Horse has a great blocker on d6, but must play very carefully, the slightest mistake could be fatal.
32. NE8 ... 33. Bc1 NC7 34. BD3 Bd6
Nero Home e4 gives the enemy king, but Topalov did not care ... strange.
Both still have about 25 minutes on the clock.
35. KE4 b5
Anand tries to build a fortress to prevent the penetration of the White King.
36. Kd4 a6 37. Be2
37. ... Ke7
fact, it seems difficult now to find a plan for winning the White. Anand can continue to move KD7-e7-d7 until Topalov does not produce anything constructive.
38. BG5 + KD7 39. BD2 BG3 40. Bf2 g5 +
Now KE4 Ke5 is better, because it earns a time in view of 41. BC5 Ke5 42. BG4 + Ke7 43. KE4. In addition, the best possible support KE4 h4 push ahead.
41. Ke5 BG3 + 42. KE4 NE8
For the above reasons, I think at 41 I move that both players have committed inaccuracies.
43. BG4 + Ke7 44. ND6 Be6 + 45. KF3
NC4 With this great move Anand seems to get rid of past problems. If 46. BB4 + Bd6 47. BC3 BE5. Topalov has 20 minutes less than Anand in time on the clock.
46. Bc1 Bd6 47. KE4 a5 48. BG4
The problem of the plan and then Bg7 Bxh7 that the King is a black and traps him with Kf8 KG7. Now Anand can force the exchange of bishops with 48 ... Ba3 camposcuro 49. Bf4 Bd6 if desired.
48. Ba3 ... 49. Bxa3 + Nxa3
For the record, Topalov could not have avoided even with the exchange 49. Bf4 Bd6 50. Bxd6 + Kxd6 51. Be2 Kc5 52. Bxc4 bxc4, with the final deal. Taking now in a3, Topalov did not give up and makes sure a little 'action, just her style!
still 50 minutes to just 25 for Topalov and Anand to make 11 moves.
50. Ke5 NC4 + 51. Kd4 Kd6 52. Be2 Na3 53. Nc2 h4 + 54. NB4 Kc3 55. Nxa2 Bxb5 + 56. NB4 KB3 57. Be2 Nxd5 58. NF4 h5 59. hxg6 hxg6 60. BC4
reached the sixtieth control, Topalov called the referee and offers a draw for Anand, who obviously agrees.
And so it goes on 5-5 with only 2 games left!

Appointment 9 to Sunday, always at 14 for race 11 (where Anand will have White), and later for analysis after the game!
