Prophylaxie : Art de prévenir les problèmes avant qu'ils n'arrivent
1.e4
c5
2.Cf3
d6
3.Fb5+
During the whole tournament Carlsen consistently and mostly sucessfully avoided any heated theoretical debates in the openings, opting for lines such as 2.d3, or a quick exd5 against the French Defence.
3. ... Fd7
The most solid response and the result of our game will hardly change this long-standing verdict.
4.Fxd7+
Dxd7
5.c4
This continuation is White's best chance to fight for an opening edge - he puts his pawns on the light squares, as he has just exchanged the light-squared bishops. Les blancs optent pour létau de Maroczy : ils int mis leurs pions sur e4 et c4 pour empécher la poussée d5. Ils se sont au préalable débarassé de leur mauvais fou de cases blanches
5. ... Cf6
Black intends to develop his kingside first and possibly use the c-file before he plays Nc6.
6.Cc3
g6
7.d4
cxd4
8.Cxd4
Fg7
9.f3
Dc7!?
With f3 instead of h3 this move is still rare - Black doesn't have the blow on e4 from the previous note!
10.b3
Da5
Black's idea is to lure the bishop to b2 instead of its usual deployment on the c1-h6 diagonal (e3 or g5).
11.Fb2
11. ... Cc6
12.O-O
O-O
13.Cce2N
Although objectively this novelty is not particularly dangerous, it's in keeping with White's strategy to avoid excessive simplification and retain fighting chances.
13. ... Tfd8
Anand returns to the idea of pushing d5 either after preparation (e6), or directly as in the game.
14.Fc3
Db6
15.Rh1
Le roi est plus en sécurité sur cette case.
15. ... d5!
16.Cxc6
16. ... bxc6
17.De1!
Retire la dame du vis à vis de la Td8[%cal Rc3a5]
17. ... Tdc8?!
18.e5
Ce8
19.e6!?
Carlsen possibly felt his opponent's insecurity and goes for a direct attack. His approach pays off with surprising speed, but Black could have defend les blancs donnent un pion pour couper l'armée noire , les pièces de l'aile dame ne pourront plus venir défendre le roi noir
19. ... fxe6
20.Cf4
20. ... Fxc3
21.Dxc3=/&
d4
22.Dd2!?
La dame vise la case h6
22. ... c5
23.Tae1
Cg7
24.g4!
Limits Black's knight and prepares the follwing manoeuvre, which is easy to overlook. Empêche le cavalier de s'activer par la case f5[%csl Rf5]
24. ... Tc6?
And sure enough, Anand goes astray and fails to meet White's most dangerous idea. Black had better options, leading to balanced positions:
25.Ch3! →
Suddenly Black is in trouble - his queen joins the defence one move too late. Les blancs vont envahir les cases noires affaiblies autour du roque[%cal Rd2h6,Rh3g5]
25. ... Ce8
26.Dh6
Cf6
27.Cg5
d3?!
Hastens the end.
28.Te5! +-
Rh8
29.Td1
Here White has no immediate mate, but Black remains completely paralysed, as due to Nf7 he has no access to the d8-square.[%csl Rd3,Rd8][%cal Gg5f7]
29. ... Da6
30.a4!?
Pourquoi laisserait-on du jeu à l'adversaire? Les noirs préfèrent abandonner car la partie est sans espoir. En effet ils n'ont rien à opposer au plan qui consiste à avancer le pion h jusqu'en h6
1-0
