Oct-01-05		TheAlchemist: Short mentioned this game in his round 3 report from San Luis: <Anand-Adams has exploded into extraordinary violence. The Zaitsev Variation is not a regular feature of the Englishman’s repertoire (he tends to prefer other systems of the Spanish), but clearly he had prepared something particular for the tournament favourite, excavating a line that was popular from the Kasparov-Karpov clashes back in the 1980s. It also jogged long-dormant painful memories of a game that I lost brilliantly to Gyula Sax in the Subotica Interzonal. Black’s kingside is jolly weak indeed.> http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
