[D97] Obrona Gruenfelda

Miskolc Rapid (5 partia), 06.06.2009
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5. It is not surprise for us: Anand keeps on playing Grunfeld with Black. 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Qb3 dxc4 6.Qxc4 0-0 7.e4 a6 8.Be2 b5 9.Qb3 c5 10.dxc5 Bb7 11.0-0 Nxe4. The main line of the "Hungarian variarion". It looks like the World Champion is unsatisfied what happened in the fourth game after [11...Nbd7 12.e5 Nd5 13.Nxd5 Nxc5 14.Nxe7+ Qxe7 15.Qa3+/=] 12.Nxe4 Bxe4 13.Bf4 [13.Bg5 was played by Kasparov against Leko, but Peter showed the right defensive plan and kept the balance.] 13...Bd5 14.Qe3 Bxb2 15.Rad1 e6 16.Ne5 Nd7 17.Nd3 Bg7 18.Nb4 Nf6 19.Bf3N. Reasonable continuations are still [19.Bd6; or 19.Be5 ] 19...Rc8 Anand does not hurry to escape from the pin with his queen, he is waiting for Leko's committment. 20.c6 Qa5!
21.Qc5? Too agressive, which can be explained by the standing in the match and not by the objective quality of the position! This move destroys the pawn structure on the kingside and the white queen will feel uncomfortable after the next movies of Black. Better was [21.Nxd5 Nxd5 22.Rxd5 exd5 23.Bxd5©; 21.a3 unclear] 21...Bxf3 22.gxf3 Rfe8 23.Bd6 Bf8 24.Bxf8 Rxf8 25.Rd6 Qa3! The c6 passed pawn does not mean serious danger for Black, therefore Anand starts a counterattack with his queen. 26.Rd3 Qb2! 27.Rb3 Qe2
28.Nxa6! The best chance to save the game! [After 28.Re3 Qc4 29.Qxc4 bxc4 30.Ra3 Nd5! 31.Nxd5 exd5 32.Rxa6 Rfd8 the connected passed pawns give good winning chances for Black.] 28...Qxa2 29.Ra3 Qb2 30.Qc3! At this moment Peter understood he has to fight for draw, because his pieces are uncoordinated and Anand's knight on d5 can be very powerful. Peter's idea is to exchange all pieces and queenside pawns except one pair of rooks. If Peter can do it the rook endgame only with the pawns on the kingside is a famous drawish position. 30...Qxc3 31.Rxc3 Nd5 32.Rc5 Ra8 33.c7
33...Rfc8 [For example 33...Rxa6?! 34.c8Q Rxc8 35.Rxc8+ Kg7 36.Rb1 b4 37.Rb8 Ra3 38.Kg2 Kf6 39.R1xb4 Nxb4 40.Rxb4 h5 41.h3 and this is the dream position.] 34.Rc6 Ra7 35.Rd6 Kg7 36.Rc1 b4 37.Rd8 [37.Rb1?! Rxa6 38.Rxa6 Rxc7 39.Ra8 Rc4 40.Rb8 Kf6=/+ this was Anand's plan, as he told the audience after the game.] 37...Raa8 38.Rxc8 Rxc8 39.Rb1 Kf6
40.Rb3?? Because of the time trouble (under one minute) Peter starts an incredible series of mistakes. [40.Nxb4 Nxc7 41.Rc1 Ke7 42.Na6 Kd7 43.Nxc7 Rxc7 44.Ra1=] 40...Ke7 41.Nxb4 Nxc7? A fatal mistake without punishment. [41...Rxc7 42.Nd3 (42.Nxd5+? exd5-+) 42...Kf6-/+] 42.Rc3 Kd6 [42...Kd7 43.Rd3+! Ke7 44.Rc3=]
43.Rd3+?? Peter told us after the game, he was waiting for Kd7, but Anand played Kd6 and in his big time trouble he mixed up the two saving moves. [43.Na6=] 43...Nd5 44.Kg2 Rc4 45.Nxd5 exd5 The rest is simple. 46.Ra3 d4 47.Ra8 Rc7 48.Kf1 Ke5 49.Rd8 f5 50.h4 Rc1+ 51.Kg2 Rc6 52.Re8+ Re6 53.Rd8 Rd6 54.f4+ Kd5 55.Re8 Re6 56.Ra8 d3 57.Kf3 Kc4 58.Rc8+ Kb3 0-1 (komentarz: http://www.chessbase/)
