Anand played 10 ... Qc8 almost without thinking; 2. After the game he said that he liked the idea of Bb5, Bxd7+ and Ne5. In Vishy's opinion White's idea was very good. I must confess that I wasn't sure about 11 Bb5 either, but if Anand says its strong, who am I to contradict! The reason 11 d5 is not in the book is very simple: I didnot use a powerbook and this line hasn't been updated for a while. To me Anand's Queen's Indian came as a bit of a surprise, during the game I preferred 4. g3 instead of 4. a3. Still, the only one knowing what REALLY happens after 10 ... Qc8 11 d5 is Anand, otherwise he would never have entered this line and play 10 ... Qc8 a tempo. Regards, Jeroen >>>You must be right. I can't see Anand playing Qc8 if d5 is so strong.
