decided that the poor knight had already moved around enough for the first ten
moves.}) 10. Bb1 $5 {A new move according to my database. I liked this
diagonal for the bishop, but on c2 it would make my queen look trapped. Being

{Before this game, I trailed by 2-3 and Karpov only needed a draw to clinch
victory. What should I do? I remembered my previous match against Karpov 
(Brussels 1991). Trailing by one point after 4 games, I played calm chess and
still got winning positions in both the 5th and 6th games. I also got some
hope from the 24th game between Kasparov and Karpov in Seville 1987 when
Karpov was in the same situation. Kasparov avoided a theoretical battle and
got no advantage. Karpov, however, was too eager to draw and soon got himself
into hot water. With these thoughts in mind, I went for game 6.} 1. d4 Nf6 2.
Bg5 {The Trompovsky!! I couldn't really bring myself to play something like
Kasparov's Reti, so this seemed like a good compromise. On the one hand, it
offers interesting positions. Since the theory mostly consists of games of
Hodgson, there are no long forced lines leading to draws (yet!), but lots of
fascinating and creative chess. Perfect, I thought, for today's game.} e6 3. e4
h6 4. Bxf6 Qxf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Qd2 g5 7. Bc4 $5 {My team was looking for
something off the beaten track, but with some venom. Eventually Yusupov came
up with this idea. White is going to castle kingside. His knight should go to
e2 (on f3, it would be harassed by g4) and so the idea arose to develop the
bishop first. The knight also has ideas like Ne2-g3-h5.} Nc6 8. Nge2 Bg7 9. Rd1

Anand, fate gave me a chance to fight for a higher position and prize. I had
nowhere to retreat. I had -1 and was sharing 3rd-8th place and this was the
last round. I decided to fight to the end. I had successfully used the
Trompowsky Opening during the Chess World Cup 2013, but decided to extend my
repertoire of classical openings. Now I don't know whether it was a good or
bad idea.} g6 {A nice surprise.} ({Recently Levon applied the original scheme}

had been made automatically, and now it was time to think properly. Black
still has a very safe position. White has few pieces which can be used to put
pressure on his opponent's weakened centre. Also, there is a risk that if the
opponent comfortably places his pawns on the dark squares, playing d7-d6 and
b7-b6, then my light-squared bishop will be out of work for a long time.} 12.

with play on the queenside, so, using castling, the king is sent there. Before
making this move, I made sure that I could execute it according to the rules.
I did't want to finish the tournament having blundered the queen and the rook
at the same time :)} a5 {Black wants to locate my pawns on "unprofitable"

1. d4 Nf6 2. Bg5 e6 3. Nd2 {It's hard to say that this move can possibly
promise White any kind of advantage. However it is playable and White isn't
worse yet.} h6 4. Bh4 c5 5. e3 Be7 6. c3 b6 7. Ngf3 Ba6 $2 {A very hard move
to understand. Black could always play this after castling short, which is
where he has to castle anyways, after which it is almost a guarantee that
White will develop his light-squared bishop. If this is the case, then why not
wait for the development and win a tempo by playing ...Ba6 on the next move?}

understand. The knight had more potential than the bishop in this position, so
why trade it off in such a hurry? The combination of rapid time controls and
extreme fatigue from the long tournament results in many mistakes.} Qxf6 12.

advantage anymore.} 19. Qa3 Qd7 20. Qa6 f5 $6 {A strange decision from any
point of view. Black has no reason to try too hard to win as White holds some
very small pressure on the queenside that cannot be ignored. So why weaken the
kingside/center on top of that?} (20... Ne7 $1 21. g3 {(or any random move
that White makes, there isn't much to do in the position)} Rxc1 22. Rxc1 Rc8

munching a pawn on a2 and stranding Black's own knight.} 23. Qe2 Nxa2 24. Rxc8

black position. Black is still holding but now has to be very careful.} Nb4 26.

possible for simplifications would have allowed Black to still be close to
equal.}) 28. Re6 {Now the pressure intensifies.} Kg8 29. Qg3 $1 Nd5 $2 {
Losing with no resistance. However already Black's position was very perilous.}

tactic.} (30. Qb3 Nxf4 31. Re7+ $18) 1-0

Bxe5 $11 {The last few moves have been pretty normal, nothing unusual. The
position is round about equal. The pawn on c5 is pretty much the imbalancing
feature in the position. It could either be a weakness or a strength. But
overall if the pawn doesn't exist the the 4 vs 3 on the kingside will be
nearly impossible to win. Hence, this position should surely not be anything
much for White.} Re8 {.} 24. Ba1 Qe6 $6 {The start of a wrong plan. Look how
White slowly strengthens his position move by move as Black struggles to find
a plan.} (24... Bc8 $1 {Re-routing the bishop to e6 looks quite good.} 25. Bc4

on the f7-pawn. Meanwhile the bishop on b4 is currently completely out of the
game.} Bb7 29. Rd1 $1 {Back rank weakness reminder.} h6 30. Qb2 {Rd7 is quite
a deadly threat now.} Bc6 {.} 31. Qe5 $1 {Basically there is no real threat in
this position, but the black pieces are just so badly tied down. The queen has
to defend g7, the bishop on c6 has taken care of a rook invasion on d7 and the
bishop on b4 is practically out of the game. The rook on a8 looks free to move,
but what can a lone man do!} Kh7 32. h4 $1 {With the deadly threat of h5 Qg5

Unusual opening, creative middlegame play and then razor sharp calculation to
finish off the game! He is truly a great player.} 1-0

not so passive. Until now Salov played some regular moves as anybodyelse would
do. Nc4 looks already a little bit deepper, it is connected with very flexible

aggressive moves ...e6 and ...h5, perhaps exchange on e6, when after ...fxe6
the g6-square would then suddenly be weakened, so that the e3-e4 lever would
become interesting, because the queen could perhaps later invade on g6 from
its post on c2. Hier steht die Dame meistens gut. Die Turmverbindung wird
hergestellt und Blickkontakt zum Bauern f5 aufgenommen; außerdem steht die
Dame nun auf einem weißen Feld, was im Hinblick auf einen bevorstehenden Kampf
um weiße Felder von Vorteil sein kann, zum Beispiel könnte Weiß, nachdem
Schwarz die durchaus typischen Anrempelungszüge ...e6 und ...h5 ausgeführt hat,
vielleicht einmal auf e6 tauschen, nach ...fxe6 wäre dann plötzlich das Feld
g6 geschwächt, so dass der Hebel e3-e4 interessant würde, weil die Dame von c2
aus vielleicht später mal auf g6 eindringen könnte.} (9. Be2 Nf6 10. Bd3 (10.
