Resumen

A cautious opening salvo. Kramnik plays 1.d4 and a Nimzo-Indian arises. Both players test each other without committing to sharp variations. The game fades into a positional draw after 45 moves of careful maneuvering.

Comentario

Kramnik steers into the Classical Nimzo-Indian — solid ground for a champion defending with white, Anand equalises comfortably and shows no fear.

The draw is agreed without drama; both players are clearly holding their deepest preparation in reserve.

A quiet opening to a match that will prove anything but — both sides are reading each other, waiting for the right moment to strike.
