  HeMateMe: White seemed a little cavalier defending his kingside pawns, from the start of the middle game. Later on, he could no longer defend the kingside.

  Penguincw: Well,at least he went for the win.
Mar-25-11  Ulhumbrus: The move 6 Bxf6 concedes the bishop pair, and on this occasion White loses the compensation which he gets for it.

This compensation consists of prospects of attack arising out of White's greater space and lead in development.

The group of moves 7..Nc6, 8...Nb4 and 9...Qd5 induces White to exchange Queens and so to relinquish the prospects of attack which make up White's compensation for the Bishop pair.

Perhaps the move 7 Qd3 is not the best, as it gives Black's QN a tempo for the attack ...Nb4 following ...Nc6.

Anand finds a brilliant way to profit from the White Queen on d3,that way consisting of the group of three moves 7...Nc6!! 8...Nb4 and 9...Qd5!
