 Anand wins in round 11. Adams pressed against Topalov but didn't break through, and the game was drawn. Photo © http://www.wccsanluis.net Chess from Malcolm Pein Chess for Wednesday October 12th 2005 Michael Adams came the closest to defeating the leader Veselin Topalov at the Fide World Championships as he launched a sacrificial attack on the Bulgarian's king in the eleventh round. Adams won some material but just failed to snare the black king as an enthralling game ended in a draw after 45 moves. Topalov maintained his bold approach to every game and went for the sharp line of the Sicilian Defence that Kasparov pioneered in his world title games against Anatoly Karpov in 1984 and 1985. This time Topalov's rivals took their chance to at least keep the tournament interesting with three games remaining. Peter Svidler moved to 7/11, 1.5 points adrift of Topalov by defeating Alexander Morozevich and Vishy Anand offered Rustam Kasimdzhanov the chance to go into the line he played against Svidler in the previous round. When the defending champion chose another path he was smashed in 28 moves. This game will be analysed in the Sunday Telegraph. The Hungarian derby between Peter Leko and Judit Polgar was a tame affair. Round eleven of fourteen. Adams draw Topalov, Sicilian Scheveningen, 45; Anand 1-0 Kasimdzhanov, Sicilian Najdorf, 6.Be3 English Attack, 28; Polgar draw Leko, Caro Kann, Panov Botvinnik Attack, 25; Svidler 1-0 Morozevich, Petroff Defence, 70; Scores: 1 Topalov (Bulgaria) 8.5/11; 2 Svidler (Russia) 7; 3 Anand (India) 6.5; 4 Morozevich (Russia) 5.5; 5 Leko (Hungary) 5; 6 Kasimdzhanov (Uzbekistan) 4.5; 7 Adams (England) 4; 8 Polgar (Hungary) 3. Several games between Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov went 12.Bf3 Rb8 13.Qd2. Topalov's move order allows a very dangerous break in the centre from Adams who builds a big attack. 21.Bg5 is met by 21. ...f5! 22.Nf6+ Bxf6 23.Bxf6 Ng4 24.Bg5 e5 when Black is better. 24. ...Nf7! covered some dark squares but Adams' counter was superb. 26.Nh5!! won the exchange because the sacrifice could not be accepted if 26...gxh5 27.Bf6 f4 28.Rxf4 Qxc2 29.Rf3 wins or 26...gxh5 27.Bf6 Nh8 28.Bxh8 Kxh8 29.Qf6+ Kg8 30.Re3 h4 31.Rxf5 exf5 32.Qxc6 Rxe3 33.Kg1 Rb8 34.Qd6 Rb7 35.Qd8+ Kf7 36.Qxc8 with a clear advantage.
