It has 3 games of 11.d5 It is hellishly complicated but 11.d5 looks very good for white. It seems as if Anand did not properly prepare for Rebel 10. Super GM's still do not have the proper respectfor micros! Congratulations on an excellent result. In the future let us see all the games at 40/2!!!!!!!! That will be the real test. -- Komputer Korner
