{The previous day, I had lost to Kramnik without so much as a struggle and had
spent the previous evening disgusted with my play. There was no way I could be
bothered playing some boring Caro-Kann and trying to deal with some
improvement on move 45 leading to a difficult ending etc. I felt that it would
be better to go down in style than to do something like that. Now, how does a
move like 1.Nf3 allow me to get interesting positions?? Well, to be honest, 1.
Nf3 can lead to positions even more boring than after 1.e4 c6, but at least
they would be NEW boring positions!! The previous day, I had lost to Kramnik

more boring than after 1.e4 c6, but at least they would be NEW boring
positions!! Am Tag zuvor hatte ich praktisch kampflos gegen Kramnik verloren
und den Abend damit verbracht, mich von meinem Spiel anwidern zu lassen. Auf
keinen Fall wollte ich mich auf irgendeine langweilige Caro-Kann-Variante
einlassen, um zu versuchen, mit irgendeiner Verbesserung im 45. Zug fertig zu
werden, die zu einem schwierigen Endspiel führt usw. Ich fand, es wäre besser,
stilvol unterzugehen, als so etwas zu tun. Nun, und wie erlaubt mir ein Zug
wie 1.Nf3, interessante Stellungen zu bekommen?? Also, um ehrlich zu sein, 1.
Nf3 kann zu sogar noch langweiligeren Stellungen führen als 1.e4 c6, aber
wenigstens würden es NEUE langweilige Stellungen sein!!} 1. Nf3 d5 {Aha! Not
so boring, maybe? He had played this against Topalov and I had an idea... Aha!
Doch nicht so langweilige, vielleicht? So hatte er auch gegen Topalov gespielt,
und ich hatte da eine Idee...} 2. d4 e6 3. c4 dxc4 4. e4 {And I played this
without hesitating. Maybe 4.e3 some other time, but I just wanted to liven

20. Bd3 Ba6 {Here, I spent a few seconds checking 21.Rxd5 which leaves White
with an extra pawn, but as I mentioned earlier I couldn't be bothered. I saw
Bxh7+ and didn't waste any more time on Rxd5. I then spent some time analysing
Bxh7+, and didn't see a defence for Black. I then realized that I was too
excited to analsye and decided to get it over with. He had hardly any time
left already and I was sure that he wouldn't find a defence. Baburin: In this
position which is clearly superior for him, White does not settle for a pawn
after 21 Rxd5, but instead launches a devastating blow: Ftacniik: Annad
unleashed a spectacular attack with bishop sacrifice. An dieser Stelle prüfte
ich ein paar Sekunden lang 21.Rxd5, wonach Weiß mit einem Mehrbauern verbleibt,
aber wie bereits erwähnt, hatte ich daran kein Interesse. Ich sah Bxh7+ und
verschwendete keine Zeit mehr mit Rxd5. Ich analysierte Bxh7+ eine Zeit lang
und sah keine Verteidigung für Schwarz. Dann wurde mir klar, dass ich zum
Rechnen zu aufgeregt war und beschloss, es hinter mich zu bringen. Er hatte
bereits kaum noch Bedenkzeit und ich war sicher, dass er keine Verteidigung
finden würde. Anand beginnt einen spektakulären Angriff mit einem Läuferopfer.}
21. Bxh7+ $1 {In the press centre they expected 21.Rxd5, but my close friend
Mauricio Perea knew immediately that I would play 21.Bxh7+! and he tried to
work out all the details.  Kramnik: Brilliant sacrifice, which was
underestimated by Karpov. Brilliant sacrifice, which was underestimated by
Karpov.  Petursson: This is the most amazing sacrifice in the CBM 57.
Specially, considering who is playing Black. Im Pressezentrum erwartete man 21.
Rxd5, aber mein enger Freund Mauricio Perea wusste sofort, dass ich 21.Bxh7+!
spielen würde, und versuchte, alle Details auszuarbeiten.} (21. Rxd5 Nc6) 21...
Kxh7 22. Qh5+ Kg8 23. Rb3 {Baburin: This is the point - White shifts the rook
to the h-file. Baburin: Das ist die Pointe - Weiß schwenkt mit seinem Turm auf
die h-Linie.} Bxe5 $2 {This loses trivially. During the game I was worried
about 23...Bc8 more than 23...f6, but later analysis suggests that the latter
was the best move. The only move. The only move. The desire to get rid of the
annoying e5-knight is very understandable but here Black misses a chance to
put up more resistance. After this it seems clear that Black is lost. But a
defense is hard to find. Dies verliert trivial. Während der Partie machte ich
mir mehr Sorgen wegen 23...Bc8 als wegen 23...f6, aber die spätere Analyse
ergab, das letzteres der bessere Zug war - und der einzige. Der Wunsch, den
lästigen Springer e5 zu eliminieren, ist sehr verständlich, aber hier verpasst
Schwarz eine Möglichkeit, härteren Widerstand zu leisten.} (23... f6 $1 24. Rh3

hatte ich nicht tief analysiert. Hinterher fragte ich Karpov, was er dagegen

Theme: rook's pawn and the 'wrong bishop'. Black loses because he still has
the doubled g-pawns. White should not capture the front one at g6. Winning
Plan: 1. Pick up the a-pawn 2a. Stalemate Black's king in the corner at h8,
which ultimately will lead to the transformation of the h-pawn to a g-pawn. 2b.
Forcing the black king from h8, which ultimately allows the win of the g-pawn
without giving up control of h8. Compare Hecht-Lichterfeld, 1953 (57ENDCBM). 
[#] Thema: Randbauer und falscher Läufer. Schwarz verliert, weil er noch über
den doppelten g-Bauern verfügt. Weiß darf keinesfalls den Vordermann g6
schlagen. Gewinnplan: 1. Abholen des a-Bauern; 2a. Pattsetzen des schwarzen
Königs in der Ecke h8, was schließlich zum Wechsel des h-Bauern auf die
g-Linie führt. oder 2b. Abdrängen des schwarzen Königs aus der Ecke h8, was
schließlich zum Gewinn der g-Bauern führt, ohne daß die Kontrolle über h8
abgegeben wird. Vergleiche Hecht- Lichterfeld, 1953 (57ENDCBM )} Kc5 45. Be8 a3
