Anand takes the lead

Vassily Ivanchuk had nice opening advantage with White against Vishy Anand, but he started to lose strings after grabbing pawn instead of increasing the pressure. Anand used his chance to start strong attack on 22.Rfe1? seeing Ivanchuk resigning only 6 moves later.

I'm still smiling about your Carla Huppeldepup.... So funny to see such a dutch expression on an english site... ("huppeldepup" is used in dutch as a standard frase to say that you either don't know the real name or don't really care -It's not so polite -so I take it someone told you that silly name).
