1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h6 7. Nf3 Nd7 8. h5 Bh7 9. Bd3 Bxd3 10. Qxd3 Ngf6 11. Bf4 e6 12. O-O-O Be7 13. Kb1 Anand previously played 13...0-0 against Judit Polgar in Wijk aan Zee, however this time he seems to be intending a different strategy. 13... Qa5 14. Ne5 Rd8 15. Qe2 O-O!? This allows the next move which will allow White to exchange off Black's darksquared Bishop. It looks as though Anand is hoping to follow an all-too familiar idea of a liqht-squared strategy. 16. Ng6 Rfe8 17. Nxe7+ Rxe7 18. Rd3 Ree8 19. Rhd1 Qd5 20. Rg1 Whites only play is to push the "g" pawn in a King-side assault, however, the ugly positioning of the Knight on g3 lags White's attacking potential on the King-side. 20... b5 21. Qd2 a5! White correctly does not go for the cheap trap 22. Qa5??...Ra8 which allows Black to win with his double attack on a2. Black correctly keeps increasing the pressure over the Queen-side. He will have the follow up plan of a4 and Nb6-c4 to continue. 22. Ne2 Thanks to this tactical nuance, White is planning on creating an offensive crisis on the King-side. 22... b4! It is dangerous to try and munch on the h5-Pawn... 22... Nxh5 23. Bxh6! gxh6 24. Qxh6 And White has a decisive attack. 22... Qxh5 23. Rh3! Qg6 24. Bxh6 Ne4 25. Qe3 gxh6 26. Nf4 Qh7 27. Rgh1 And White has unpleasant threats. 23. g4 Finally Bologan can push the pawn! The h6 weakness is being realized and Viorel is aiming at it very soon. 23... Ne4 24. Qe3 Ng5 24... Ndf6 25. f3 Ng5 26. Be5 a4 27. f4! and White is bluntly going to break Black's King-side the old fashioned way....with a Pawn rush! 25. Rc1! A nice plan . Thanks to the space advantage White enjoys, he is able to change the offensive fronts of the attack .... Suddenly enough, White is ready to open the position on the Queen-side (the Knight on g5 is away from the action!) . 25... Nb6 26. b3 a4? A rude blunder from Vishy, after... 26... Qb5 27. c4 bxc3 28. Nxc3 Qb4 The position remains very unclear. 27. Bc7 Qa5 Anand is attempting to capture, in some way, this c7 killer. However!, Bologan is showing all of us in this game that he is not just a "tourist" in Dortmund! 28. f4! Nh7 29. g5! The Knight on b6, which had been intended to vacation on the d5 square, is much more important than Black's passive Rook on d8! 29. Bxd8 Rxd8 30. g5 Nd5! And Black has significant counterplay. 29... hxg5 30. fxg5 Rd7 31. Bxb6 Qxb6 32. Rg1 axb3 33. cxb3 Qa5 34. g6 fxg6 Nothing could improve Black's position. 34... Nf6 35. h6! Demolishing Black's position on the King-side, the King left to fend for itself! 35. hxg6 Nf6 36. Rg5 Rd5 37. Re5! The final accord. Black's position is full of weaknesses, in addition to his brittle King-side riddled with holes. 37... Ng4 It's hard to criticize this blunder, consider how ugly Black's position is. 38. Rxe6! Rf8 39. Qh3 Nh6 40. Rxc6 Rdf5 41. d5 Anand resigned .... The Black pieces are out of gas. 1-0 [GM Boris Alterman and Jason Doss]
