♕ OCL SHOP: http://www.iChess.net/shop/ ♕ http://facebook.com/iChessnet ♕ http://twitter.com/OnlineChessLess Website: http://www.iChess.net Continued coverage of past classics from the Linares chess Super-Tournament, presenting a game between Super-Grandmasters Rustam Kasimdzhanov (Uzbekistan) and Viswanathan Anand (India). Rustam played a somewhat strange sideline in an Anti-Sicilian involving an early c3 and Be2 and the current (as of 2011) World Chess Champion Anand reacted very forcefully and took control of the game by playing actively in the center while Rustam's play on the side (specifically on the A-File) proved insufficient. Once Anand took the initiative, a sequence of forced moves concluded the game.
