{This game was played in the 11th round, right after I had lost the very
important game against Anand. I played for a win, but as usual I did not
expect very much.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 Nxc3 6. bxc3

a draw in the end).}) 12... cxd4 {This move, opening the c-file right after
White has played Rc1 doesn't look very good, but it is part of a setup.} 13.

move does, however, create some weaknesses on the dark squares around the
black king.} 14. Qd2 Bb7 15. h4 {This move has long been considered the best
move here. The h4 pawn is obviously immune.} Qe7 $6 {This is just a bit too
indifferent in my opinion.} (15... Nc6 {Is the main continuation, after which}

create play on the dark squares on the kingside is whites plan here.} Rxc1 $2 {

tried, I think that Black's first priority here should be to bring the knight
back into the game.}) 18. Rxc1 Rc8 19. Rxc8+ Bxc8 20. Bg5 Qc7 $6 (20... Qd7 {

strange feeling, since I could not really understand what that had just
happened: Without making any particularily spectacular moves I had just beaten
one of best players in the world. It seems to me that Ivanchuk must have had
an extremely bad day (as it seemed to me, for most of this tournament he
played really well).} 1-0
