Apr-19-23  crazyim5: Anand tweeted about this game remarking its resemblance to Game 7 of Nepo - Ding 2023 world championship match! Albeit being a Sicilian we do end up in French Rubinstein type structure around move 30 where black has sacrificed an exchange and has the bishop pair

  fredthebear: While I have developed an appreciation for Anand as a player and person, I see little resemblance to Game 7 other than placements Qh3, g6, f4 and the open d-file. The PRESSURE that Black fought off in Game 7, the difference in knights, and the isolated c-pawn made for a very different game. The game above has far more freedom, active choices, and likely better players.
