	rediff.com: Anand beats Dreev to enter quarters
		Defending champion Vishwanathan Anand was brilliance personified as he outclassed Alexey Dreev of Russia in all departments of the game to storm into the quarter-finals of the World chess championship at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow on Wednesday.
		Dreev's 14th move was a relatively new idea and Anand had to think for a while to find the most convincing path.
		Dreev tried further complications blocking Anand's Rook to the best square, but Anand was equally up to the task as he manoeuvred it from the eighth rank to romp home in 42 moves.

		Much of the series’ content is based on the games of the author or his students, and in many cases the chapters are based on lectures and lessons Dvoretsky provided to students at his chess school.
		It may be surprising to hear that part of Dvoretsky’s method for dealing with this was to make Dreev wade into a strong tournament with a new repertoire that was far from complete.
		Lest the reader think that just “winging it” is the way to go in the openings, Dvoretsky also details his experience with woman world championship contender Nana Alexendria, where she almost won the world championship from Maya Chiburdanidze through extensive opening preparation.

		Taking it easy were the likes of Alexei Shirov, Boris Gelfand, and Sergei Rublevsky who drew without much ado against lower-rated opponents.
		However, as it turned out, Dreev's Caro Kann defence remained as impregnable as ever and the Hyderabad-based player decided against taking any undue risk after sacrificing a pawn in the middle game.
