Javier Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH FIDE World Chess Championship Match MOSCOW, STATE TRETYAKOV GALLERY, MAY 10 — MAY 31, 2012 The first game is over. A very disappointing dull draw in 24 moves. Few expected Anand to play 1.d4 (mainly because he's far more dangerous as a King Pawn player). Gelfand had no trouble whatsoever getting equality out of the opening. White: Anand Black: Gelfand [pgn]1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. cxd5 Nxd5 6. e4 Nxc3 7. bxc3 c5 8. Bb5+ Nc6 9. d5 Qa5 10. Rb1 a6 11. Bxc6+ bxc6 12. O-O Qxa2 13. Rb2 Qa5 14. d6 Ra7 15. Bg5 exd6 16. Qxd6 Rd7 17. Qxc6 Qc7 18. Qxc7 Rxc7 19. Bf4 Rb7 20. Rc2 O-O 21. Bd6 Re8 22. Nd2 f5 23. f3 fxe4 24. Nxe4 Bf5 [/pgn] If Anand hopes to win this match, he's gonna have to play 1.e4, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
