Dec-11-03  talchess2003: Anand punished Naiditsch for the move a3. In some positions it is necessary, but in this position it only had drawbacks... Naiditsch just got totally crushed...

Also, Re8, trapping the queen in the middle of the board, was cool :P

May-29-04  morphynoman2: A nice game by the (former) FIDE World Champion, V. Anand. Winning with the Black pieces at this level is supposed to be tough ... Anand makes it look easy! From "Chess Express"
Oct-18-09  mobiegobie: The a3 move for white usually comes earlier in the game(like move 7 and before b5....) then white castles short [0-0] not long[0-0-0] and right into black counterplay queenside! a3 is played to save the Sozin bishop from the black "a" rook not to stop b4 which it does not as seen here! a3 is not common still this is probably why..
