 [#]21.f4 Noone could ever put out the fire with gasoline. [I asked my computer, how could Black win if White would have simply pass the turn, for example: 21.¢h1 The computer could not understand it either. After 21...¤ec6 Anand's idea is even more efficient: 22.b5 ¤a5 23.f4! £f4 24.¦d4 The same continuation (22.f4!) would follow if Black tries to build up rooks on the f-file.] [Teimur was ready to meet 22.¦d4? with 22...£f2!! 23.¢f2 ¥d4 24.¢g3 (or 24.¢e2 ¦f2#) 24...¥f2# However, one should be more realistic. In our days it is only possible to become immortal with a single strike only in some simultaneous play. ] 22...£f2! 23.¢f2 ¤b5 24.¢g1 The black b5-knight is untouchable due to ¥d4. 24...¤c3 25.¤c3 ¥c3 26.¥b5 Anand readily gets rid of his spare material. [It is a good opportunity to reach a draw now by 26.¦e3 ¦ac8 27.¥a6 ¦c7 28.¦c3 ¦c3 29.¥b2 ¦e3 30.£d2 (it is still possible to improve the variation, say: 30.¥g7! ¢g7? 31.£d4) 30...¦b3 31.£c2 ¦e3] 26...¥e1 27.£e1 ¤f5 28.¥b2 ¦ac8 29.¥a4 ¦f7 During the recent several moves both opponents tried to co-ordinate their forces. 30.h3 h5 31.b5 h4 32.¥e5 d4 33.b6? White is playing for win. [However, it is still posible to force the draw by 33.£e4 ¤e3 34.£h4 ¦c1 35.¢h2 ¤f1 , and, perhaps, White should do just so. Both opponents have their trumps: Anand has an extra queen, while Radjabov has passed pawns and the attack. Who of them will succeed?] 33...e3 34.¢h2 d3 35.£b4 e2 36.¥c3 ¦c3! 37.£c3 ¤g3 38.b7 ¦b7 39.£a5 ¦b8 Radjabov won. [0:1] |
