βšͺ️Anand,Viswanathan (2782)
⚫️So,Wesley (2788)
πŸ”Έ0-1
πŸ“˜27.Kf1 NΓ—c3!
After Wesley's interesting combination, Vishy made the critical mistake:
28.N4e3?
A)28.QΓ—c3? Qe2+ 29.Kg1 Qd1+ 30.Kh2 Ne2 31.Qe1 QΓ—c2 -/+
B)28.NΓ—b6!! In order to open the c-file.
28...cΓ—b6 29.QΓ—c3 Qe2+ 30.Kg1 Qd1+ 31.Kh2 Ne2 32.Qc8+ Kh7 33.Qf5+ = Perpetual check.

28.N4e3 Ne4 29.Qd4 c5 -+
And after a few more moves, Anand lost the game on his birthday

πŸ”ΈKasparov,Garry (2838)
πŸ”ΈRUS-The World Moscow 2002
πŸ“˜ 16...d5!
A brilliant pawn sacrifice to take over the center. Kasparov is playing for keeps. however, he eventually lost the game.
16...Qc7 or 16...c5 would be met by 17.Bc4 or 17.f4 and White obtains a strong initiative.

πŸ”ΈRomanov,Evgeny (2624)
πŸ”ΈRUS-chT Olginka 2011
πŸ“˜ 39.Qd2!
Ivanchuk adds a defender to e3, as well as forcing Black to keep an eye on a5.
39.Bxd5 Nxd5 only makes Black's defensive task easier.
39.Bf3? allows black to obtain a winning position with a tactical blow: 39...Nxe3+! 40.Rxe3 Rxe3 41.Rxd8 Rxf3+ 42.Ke2 Qxd8-+.

♦️ Anatoly Yevgenyevich Karpov is a Russian chess grandmaster and former World Champion.
He was the official world champion from 1975 to 1985 when he was defeated by Garry Kasparov.
He played three matches against Kasparov for the title from 1986 to 1990, before becoming FIDE World Champion once again after Kasparov broke away from FIDE in 1993. He held the title until 1999, when he resigned his title in protest against FIDE's new world championship rules. For his decades-long standing among the world's elite, Karpov is considered by many to be one of the greatest players of all time.

♦️His tournament successes include over 160 first-place finishes.
He had a peak Elo rating of 2780, and his 102 total months at world number one is the second longest of all-time, behind only Garry Kasparov, since the inception of the FIDE ranking list in 1970.
