Kramnik vs Anand Investbanka Belgrade 1997
After the Las Palmas game, Kramnik and Anand next met at the board at Belgrade in 1997. Anand had to win this game to even their head to head score.
Enjoy the game.
Key Moments of the Game
The game is a semi-slav. Anand plays aggressively out of the opening and pushes pawns with attacking intentions.
Kramnik sacrifices his bishop to attack the open King.
Kramnik is clearly behind on material by move 14 and Anand can easily win the game with precise play, but Anand's 15. Nd7 is a mistake and Kramnik can force a perpetual by sacrificing another bishop (16. Bxc4).
Anand again misses a winning line on move 17, giving Kramnik another chance to draw.
After a couple of more mistakes, Anand starts making the right moves, sacrifices his Rook, regains it and finishes Kramnik off.
Anand's connected pawns are also threatening to Queen. Kramnik cannot give any more checks.
Enjoy the game.
