  tamar: I was surprised to see Anand playing it. He has only played it once before as black,acc to chessgames database, and he lost that in a nice ending to Judit. Judit Polgar vs Anand, 1991

Judit Polgar vs Anand, 1991> No, there was a game in his championship match against Kasparov in 1995 where he played the Open Ruy Lopez and got blown off the board by Kasparov's home analysis.
Jan-15-04  PinkPanther: Actually Anand has played the Open Ruy Lopez quite a number of times. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Anyway, here's that game against Kasparov from 1995. Kasparov vs Anand, 1995
