1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.f3!? This line is getting more and more popular. 4...d5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 c5 7.cxd5 Nxd5 8.dxc5

8...Qa5. 8...f5 occured in Anand-Kramnik, in their match in Bonn (2008), game two. 9.e4 Nf6 10.Be3 0-0 11.Qb3 Nfd7 12.a4 Qc7 13.Qa3 b6 14.a5 Bb7N

Nice novetly by Kramnik! 14...bxc5 was the usual move. 15.a6. One of the best tries according to Deep Rybka 4. 15...Bc8 16.Bb5 Nxc5 17.Bxc5 bxc5 18.Ne2 Bd7 19.Bc4. From now on Kramnik started to think some five minutes per move. I think the text move shouldn't be the only one to equalize, though Black must pay some attention due to White's space advantage. 19...Bc6!?

Giving the c-pawn for long-term compensations. This reminds, for instance, of some of the positions in the Bc4-Ne2 line in the Grunfeld. Black's safe development and pressure on the c-file is enough to compensate for an extra c-pawn. [19...Be8!?] 20.Qxc5 Nd7 21.Qa5 Rfc8 22.Qxc7. I think after this move, White has no winning chances at all. 22.0-0!? should be a better try, though Black should be able to draw by force, somehow. 22...Rxc7 23.Nd4 Bxe4. After this move, Kramnik started to play quickly until the draw was agreed. 24.Bxe6 fxe6 25.fxe4 Rxc3 26.0-0 Nc5 27.e5 h6

28.Rfc1 Rxc1+ 29.Rxc1 Nxa6 30.Nxe6 Re8 31.Nd4 Rxe5 32.Ra1 Re4 33.Rxa6 Rxd4 34.Rxa7 1/2-1/2.
