Anand, Viswanathan – Leko, Peter

2786 2005 · Black wins (resignation, time or agreement)

Anand (2786) against Leko (2749), 2005, in a Sveshnikov where Black accepts a broken structure with 9...gxf6 and plays for open files. White’s rook lands on a7 and the tension holds until the key moment: 26.Ba6, a missed chance that swings the evaluation from 0.0 to +2.6 from White’s side. Black replies 26...Bxg2 and the game turns into a rook fight where both sides let opportunities slip. Later, 57.Kh3 gives away still more, from +7.3 to +15.0. The final score is 0-1 despite White playing 93% at least good moves against Black’s 91%: solid average accuracy is no shield against one wobbly moment.
