Anand preparation holds Gelfand in Game 6 as Kasparov opines - 6
Boris Gelfand tried a different approach against Viswanathan Anand's Semi-Slav in Game 6 of the World Chess Championship in Moscow but the result was the same, a short draw. 6 draws, 3-3 at the halfway point. Yet again this was deep opening preparation from Anand that took him pretty much to the endgame. Whilst I'm sure the players weren't that happy to hear Kasparov was making a visit most probably everyone else was. Kasparov came with pearls of wisdom to cast before the journalistic swine. His theory was that Anand has been "sliding downhill" since 2008, that he lacked motivation, the draws were mostly Anand's fault because of his unambitious "Maginot Line", defensive wall tactics with black and that Gelfand best strategy (as he hasn't beaten Anand since 1993) was to heighten the tension by keeping the match level as long as possible as Anand is "not the most stable player psychologically." Transcript (that took much longer than I expected) below along with IM Malcolm Pein's notes combined with some Kasparov and Svidler suggestions. Game 7 with Gelfand white again follows on Sunday 3pm Moscow time, 12pm UK.
