NEW DELHI: Top seed Viswanathan Anand started his campaign in the prestigious Sparkassen Chess Meeting 2007 with a comfortable draw against World champion Vladimir Kramnik at the Dortmund Civic Theater, Dortmund, on Saturday. In the lone decisive game of the eight-player field, Azerbaijan’s Shakhriyar Mamedyarov defeated home challenger Arkadij Naiditsch in 44 moves. The Kramnik-Anand game in Slav Defence ended in 35 moves after the players had a queen and an equal number of pawns on the board. A series of exchanges kept the positioned balanced and eventually led to an expected draw.
