🔸GM Elshan Moradiabadi game analysis of the Isle of Man International 2017

🔸Anand,Viswanathan (2794)
🔸 Hou,Yifan (2670)

📗5.d3!? Anand chooses a tempo up symmetric position. This is exactly like exchanged French! 1 decade ago this move would have not been even legit for top level chess!

📗14.Bf4!? Here is Anand's idea. He provokes Hou Yifan to chase his bishop.

📗18.Bh7+! an important in between move. 19.., Kh8 20.Bxf4 Nxf4 21.Bf5 with the king on g8 white's advantage is only symbolic and close to nothing but now white has real threats after his knight jumps to e5 with threats against f7 square.

📗53.f6 A flawless technique by Anand. Students have to study this great technical display of Anand in detail and depth

🔸Anand,Viswanathan (2794)
🔸Sethuraman,S.P (2617)
🔸Round 6

📗5...Nxe4 This was Anand's prep for his 1995 match with Kasparov until Kasparov uncorked a famous rook sacrifice and won a crucial game against Anand!
