You *cannot* get away with that sort of stuff against him. You need to visit ICC, where I can put you in touch with Yasser, who is a horrific calculator. He will show you why "speculation" is a long-term alias for resigning... These guys can calculate, and they can calculate just as good as the best of the programs around can. You have to out-play them, *not* try to out- speculate them. Yasser is a particular handful, and he's not as much of a problem as is Anand. I've played Anand some games, but promised to not reveal the games nor where they were played. He is an amazing calculator. Don't sell him short and expect complicated positions to confuse him... There is no "anti-GM" strategy, other than simply playing good, solid chess. Anything else will backfire...
