Kasparov vs Anand day2

This blog is a great resume and analysis of the match but if you want to understand better the games with the perspective of a master i analyze all the games in my youtube channel. Full Match Analysis

Initial Position

The first thing that i pay atention here is the h1 queen who if we dont take care can be in a bery ba position in the middlegame so we should focus our development always thinking about the queen.
For that i like to open with d4 open the rook and open the c1 bishop, looks so natural, and after d5 i have idea to break on c4 with a pawn sacrifice included o simply e4 to recapture with the bishop.
g3 is going to be a useful move to open the queen but sometimes can be develop via h2 or h3 or simpply passing for the first rank to the center

Anand Lost On Time R5

Simetrical game where Kasparov have an interesting idea to exploit his extra tempos with h4 but he dont find it and after a horrible trade of his knight for a bishop he reach a completely loosing position but Vishy with more than one minute in the clock starts to think forgetting the time to just flag.

Tactics in the center R6

Garry starts the game taking all the space advantaje and keeping the Vishys queen into the corner but a tactic on e4 save Anand and he had a good position during like 3 moves just before trade all the pieces and make a draw.

18 moves victory R7

This game was decides for 2 Anand's blunders. 1 positional playing Bd6 losing the option of castle short keeping the king in the open queenside and after kasparov placed perfectly the pieces to attack the black king Visjy blunder a piece.

Incredible Fortress R8

Kasparov outplayed Vishy positionally but when looks thats black have made everything good with a better knight, a better bishop and more space he had fallen in a unbrekable fortress. The only way to open the position was 20 moves ago with a great a5
