As Anand and Kramnik will face each other for the 2008 World Chess Championship in Bonn, with the first game starting on October 14th, I have collected their last 50 games played with each other.
The most recent games were played in Nice for the Amber 2008. The blind game was drawn, while Anand won convincingly the rapid game with the Black pieces ( Attack leading to Checkmate). The oldest game presented was played in 2001.
You can replay through the 50 games via this link:
http://games.top10chess.com/kramnikanandgames.htm
Obviously, their games are available for replay on http://www.chesslab.com/, http://www.chessgames.com/ or http://www.chesslive.de/, but I find it cumbersome to repeat the query.
The other advantage of the 50 games link above, is that you can play through the moves manually or automatically (choosing your speed between moves, and pausing if need). One other plus is that the JavaScript tool I am using allows for an engine to be displayed ( by clicking on the ? button, you can activate it and also move pieces on this extra analysis board). Simple but powerful tool, especially for combinations& tactics.
The other alternative is to play through the .pgn file on Fritz/ChessBase or Rybka/Chess Assistant but the JavaScript/HTML link is straightforward to use.
The games are not annotated but the JavaScript tool allows for comments/variations/evaluations ( it takes any annotated .PGN format game).
If anyone has any of these games annotated in .pgn format, I'll be happy to link or display these as well. ( thechesscorner "@" gmail . com )
Openings:
On the opening front, and if their history is any guide for their upcoming match, we would expect the following based on a cursory look at their previous games:
Anand with White would most certainly open with 1.e4. Kramnik has used 1..e5 and specifically the Berlin Defense ( 1e4 e5 2Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 Nf6) against Anand, even after the Kasparov-Kramnik 2000 world championship match.
Kramnik has also used the Petroff Defense ( 1e4 e5 2Nf3 Nf6), but lost quickly in 2005 against Anand with it. He also lost key games during the 2008 Dortmund tournament in the Petroff ( Most notably against Naidistch).
Kramnik has also tried the Sicilian Schveshnikov against Anand ( 1e4 c5 2Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cd4 4Nd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 e5 6Ndb5 d6) with some success. I would expect him to try it again during their match, and even something like 4..e5 as well. The only caveat would be that Anand can also vary with 3Bb5, entering the Rossolimo.
Kramnik with White has favored 1.d4 or 1.Nf3.
Anand has responded with various systems over time. Currently he favors the Slav/Semi-Slav settings with ..d5 and ..c6.
In Mexico 2007, Anand chose the following for their important encounter :
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.Bg5 h6
The game ended with a hard-fought draw.
Anand has also played the West-Indian defense ( 1.d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3Nf3 b6)
Finally, on 1.Nf3, Anand usually chooses 1..d5, and the game can go into Slav, or even Catalan or Queen's Gambit territory.
While opening surprises may occur, Kramnik prefers positional play while Anand favors open positions with dynamic play. Both players had a fantastic 2007 year but are below their top form in 2008. Anand finished last in Bilbao while Kramnik did below par in Dortmund.
Kramnik has in the recent years played more matches (Leko 2004, Topalov 2006) but Anand has played both Kasparov (1995) and Karpov (1998), so his preparation will be world-class.
Bottom line: 50/50 odds !
