then not the most common. 6 ... c5 8.e3 Nc6 9.a3 7.dxc5 Bxc5 10.exd4 Nxd4 11.b4 d4 Nxf3 + 12.Dxf3 Bd4 e5 13.Cb5 14.Ag5
This is the first independent movement of the game. Gelfand spent half an hour thinking, but just was not the most precise movement. 14 ... e4 h6 15.Dg3? (15 ... Nh5! 16.Dh4 Bf6 = is more or less the same and with many possibilities) 16.Td1 hxg5 17.Txd4 + / - was Nielsen - Beliavsky (2004). At the time, the player of the white pieces won. 15.Axf6 e4. This is the question qui Re8. Of course, Gelfand does not want to stay with weak pawns. In any case, after a long exchange of pieces, White seems to get a small but annoying advantage.
16.Axd8 exf3 + 17.Rd2 + Rxd8 18.Cxd4 Rxd4 White has two interesting alternatives to hand. Grischuk spent over half an hour, spinning. Although he played in the game was the most natural movement, it is possible that another option would have been stronger. 19.Rc3 . Th4 20.Axg2 fxg2 21.Thd1 19.Re3 Be6 23.Rf3 Re8 22.Axb7! and it seems that Black uncoordinated. In any case, the difference with the other line is tiny. 19 ... fxg2 20.Axg2It is raising the curtain of fog, and after many exchanges of parts, is Obviously, White can only be an advantage. With its dominance of pawns on the queenside, White has more problems a chance to create a passed pawn. Besides his strong bishop on g2 is putting much pressure on the b7 pawn, which is temporarily locking up the black pieces. Gelfand has to play very careful during the movements to not get into a desperate position. 20 ... Kg4
22.Axb7 Rxc4 + Be6 23.Rb2 Rd8 Txc1 24.Txc1. Black has played the most accurate way possible, but still far from safe. Grischuk is about to create a powerful passed pawn on the queenside. The plan is simple: push the two pawns to a5 and b5, respectively, after sacrificing to b6, to open the way to the pawn "a".
29 ... Bc8! Just in time. Any other move would have led to a desperate situation. 29 ... axb6? Rc7 30.a6 Kd8 31.Ta1 32.Ag2 and pawn "a" would cost at least a part to play for Black. 
38 ... h5! The easiest. Black pawn push the "h" as a red herring. TG4 39.h4 + 40.Rc5 
42.Tg6 + 42.Tg5 Tf2 44.Rd5 h4 45.Re6 43.Th5 h2 h3 46. f6 is similar to what happened in the game really, except that White still have the a5 pawn. This is useless and the game remains a draw. Rxa5 43.Tg5
