Gelfand breaks through in World Championship Game 7 (7)

Boris Gelfand took the lead with masterful positional play in the seventh game and he leads the defending champion Vishy Anand 4-3 with five to play at the WCC final. Gelfand was white and played a more aggressive sixth move than in previous encounters that led to an unbalanced pawn structure with complex problems to solve for both sides.
