1. ... d7-d5
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Black replies in the classical tradition, freeing his c8-bishop and preventing White from playing e4. This is the first time in the match that Kamsky has played d5 on the first move as Black. Previously, he favored 1. ...Nf6.
