Anand will be relieved!
by Sanjana Mohta on Sep 19, 2007 03:37 PM

Coming in after a rest with white means a big onus on GMs, esp after missing out on great opportunity to convert a won game earlier.

However, this game is good, cuz Svidler is considered an exponent of the Marshall himself and Anand having won a similar game against Leko, with advanced ...h5 by black. Svidler chose to avoid this line for obvious reasons. I think the culimating move was 39...Qc7 although, Svidler was short on time and lost in complications.

Marshall, although one of the most analysed openings, still is always very complicated and makes for tremendous watching...
