Yesterday afternoon , i had the chance to see the final between Kasparov and

Anand : what a struggle ! Kasparov started with white 's pieces and Anand played

the queen 's gambit refused which turned rapidly bad for black 's forces : Anand

played a bad opening variation and Kasparov really destroyed black pawn 's 

structure and won easily .

In the second game, they played a sicilian (Najdorf 's variation) where Kasparov

had to sacrifice his rook against a  knight to find chances on the queen's wing

but as he was short of time , he  didn 't succeed in finding the best moves and

had to resign.

here came the blitz where Anand had good chances as he usually plays very fast but

unfortunately made a big mistake  which cost him his central pawn (with black) in

the fist blitz and it turned out to be  fatal against the world's champion .

In the second blitz , Anand tried desperatly to  break into kasparov's king 

position by sacrifying material but it didn't work and  he lost the second game

and the final .


here are two examples of games played during the " Trophee Immopar "
( I precise that each player was given 25 minutes for all moves )
