So, in 10 ° Anand managed to hold the draw after 60 moves. He will play with white in the 11th scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday). Here analysis the 10th game.
At a press conference after the match, Anand said: "I think I came out well from the opening, but an inaccuracy at the 25th move has allowed Topalov to have initiative." Tired of defending positions in the system of passive defense Slava (not exactly his style), Viswanathan Anand has taken back the Grünfeld Defence, which also took him to an embarrassing defeat in the first game. Obviously, he must have worked hard with his team to "plug holes" in preparation and being able to play again.
However, a sudden change of the heavy pieces left Topalov in the lead, with a passed pawn isolated in the middle and the pair of bishops to control important diagonal. Anand had to defend himself again very carefully to save the flap, and Topalov played a risk-free position where he could calmly look for a winning plan. The King of Topalov was wedged in the center very soon, while Anand had closed on its territory. With the pair of bishops, Topalov was able to force the game on both wings of the board, forcing Anand, again, to a lower position in passive defense. Bulgarian
inaccuracy of the 44th allowed the horse to return to active Anand. From this moment, Topalov began to stay late time, as India moved quickly, building on its revitalized Cavallo. The change of the pioneers camposcuro solved recent defensive problems for Anand, and shortly after the players agreed to a draw.
