[D]r1bqk2r/pp2ppbp/2n3p1/1BpP4/4P3/2P2N2/P4PPP/R1BQK2R b KQkq - 0 9

9. d5 isn't played that often. We now await 9...a6 or Qa5.

[D]r1b1k2r/4ppbp/p1p3p1/2pP4/4P3/2P2N2/q4PPP/1RBQ1RK1 w kq - 0 13

[Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "?"]
[Round "-"]
[White "Anand"]
[Black "Gelfand"]
[Result "*"]

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 Nxc3 6. bxc3 Bg7 7. Nf3 c5
8. Bb5+ Nc6 9. d5 Qa5 10. Rb1 a6 11. Bxc6+ bxc6 12. O-O Qxa2
*

Very sharp game now after 12...Qxa2. I guess Anand has prepared this, but
Gelfand wants to see what he has got at home...
(Hopefully he will not have to regret this decision especially being down
40 minutes already)

Anyone want to try a Google hangout and discuss the game?

Yes, as Ignacio said, on the official website : http://moscow2012.fide.com/en/

Then click on "All Games Game 1 Anand — Gelfand" on the right. :)

The live comment is by Niguel short and another chess player I don't know. :oops:
