 | | tarek1: Very difficult to play this for black, in practise. |
|

 | | Natalia Pogonina: White gives up the bishop to spoil Black's pawn structure. Also, Black's bishops are rather clumsy. 5...e5 is a very rare move. Both players are trying to surprise each other. |

 | | Richard Taylor: Not sure about e5 being "book" though |
|
| May-24-12 | | talisman: e5 played quick. |
|
| May-24-12 | | Jack Kerouac: "P-K4. Best by test"....You know who... |
|

| | Natalia Pogonina: The idea is to limit White's dark-squared bishop. And if White takes on e5, then something like this can happen: 5. b3 e5 6. ♘xe5 ♕e7 7. ♗b2 d6

| | tarek1: e5 isn't know the CG's opening explorer. b3 is rather uncommon move too.
this is almost terra incognita here |

| | Richard Taylor: We have a real game of chess! |

| | Natalia Pogonina: Following the game Shaposhnikov (2525) - Bocharov (2403), 1-0, 2001. Now Bocharov is a 2600 player, but 11 years ago he had just 2400. |

 | | JenShahade: I think this line is easier to play as White though Anand may not have spent much time on ...e5. The line Natalia mentioned with ...Qxe4 seems rather pleasant for White after Ne3. |
|
| May-24-12 | | Eisenheim: Is this line psychologically teasing the Gmsn to poorly locate his Q to remind him of his exasperating loss??? |

| | JenShahade: That Shaposhnikov game that Natalia mentions continued Nc4 Qxe4+ Ne3 Nf6 Bxf6 gxf6 with an unusual position with two knights vs. two bishops. What would you guys prefer here?

 | | Sneaky: My fairly weak computer gives a humorous line: 7. Bb2 d6 8. Nxc6 Qe4+ 9.Qe2 Qxe2+ 10.Kxe2 Bb7 11.Na5 Bxg2 12.Rg1 Be4 13.Rxg7!? |
|

| | Natalia Pogonina: In fact, the position looks double-edged to me. For example: 7. ♗b2 d6 8.♘g4 f5 9. ♘e3 f4 10. ♘c4 ♕xe4+
click for larger viewI wonder if White should play ♔f1 or trade queens here. Interesting choice. |
|
| May-24-12 | | Meatwad: <JS> Perhaps I'm wrong but I would take Black there. I see Black's king hanging out on c7, plenty of scope for the bishops. Probably a matter of taste. |
|
| May-24-12 | | Memethecat: Hi all, Rossolimo aye. I'm sure I read that Anand was primarily an e4 player, but expanded his repertoire for match play. Does that sound right? |
|
| May-24-12 | | Ulhumbrus: Anand has probably prepared this, but instead of exchanging the e pawns why not play for the pawn advance f4? Perhaps because Black can then prepare the advance ...f7-f5 . |
|
May-24-12
| | Natalia Pogonina: 8... d5 9. ♘e5 f6 10. ♘xc6 ♕xe4+ 11. ♔f1 a5
click for larger viewLooks risky. I guess Anand will play ♘d3 instead. |
|

 | | moronovich: Very interesting development today! |
|
| May-24-12 | | Jack Kerouac: White already has achieved double pawns;central advantage; better development. And look at that fianchetto glaring down the middle. |
|
May-24-12
| | JenShahade: OK! ...d5 seems more appealing then ...Qxe4, where Black will certainly lose some time with his queen. Now Anand has a choice btwn Ne5 and Ne3 it could get very interesting if Ne5 f6 Nxc6 Qxe4+ Kf1. |
|
| May-24-12 | | talisman: ♕s coming off... |
|
May-24-12
| | JenShahade: Ne3 instead, now Qxe4 or dxe4 looks fun for White after 0-0 and Black is too far behind in development. Instead we can expect ...d4 forcing White to make some concession... either trading queens in a position where we'd prefer to ATTACK or Kf1 ,losing our right to castle. |
|
May-24-12
| | Natalia Pogonina: Looks like an endgame is coming up. White will have a slightly better pawn structure, but it looks like Black has equal chances with precise play. |
