Vishy Anand's Craziest Chess Opening Preparation! - Remote Chess Academy

Today I’d like to share with you the craziest chess opening line I ever saw in my life! It was prepared by the former world chess champion, Viswanathan Anand, and he was going to play it at his world championship match against Boris Gelfand in 2012; and that’s even more fun. 🙂 It was in the Rossolimo Variation of the Sicilian Defense, which follows the opening moves: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5, which is a well-respected alternative to 3.d4. It is named after Nicolas Rossolimo and is related to the Moscow Variation. White’s usual intention is to play Bxc6, giving Black doubled pawns. And more importantly, this variation is kind of an anti-Sicilian because you don’t have to learn all the opening theories and memorize variations like in the case of the Najdorf variation or the Sicilian Dragon. So, what is that ultimate shocker that Anand prepared against Gelfand? He actually shared this after the game was over, when he was talking about his pre-match preparation.
