Anand once explained in an interview that the reason for his deep thinking was infact that Smirin had chosen this very unusual line, and since Smirin needed a win Anand was worried that this could have been some sort of home preparation. So he tried to remeber if there was any new theory about some Kind of opening traps in this system and in addition tried to chose they best line to play to avoid getting into this uncomfortable territory.

[@thezetes]

​@@devankmittal8311 Smirin (white) resigned. Anand was up a piece (bishop), and whilst Smirin was able to defend the past pawn with his king (on the other side of the board), black;s defending rook swooped up the pawn, trying to trade white's rook, which was the only defender of the remaining pawns. In a losing position, you cannot trade pieces (most of the time!). Taking the trade, or escaping it would have resulted in the same scenario, Anand would have taken all whites remaining pawns. The position is dead lost. If they would have played on, Smirin would have had to defend his king with his rook, against black's rook, bishop and two queens. White gave up.

[@shaxter]

Anand was asked about this in the interview after. Smirin did not play the opening Anand was expecting. In a finale like this, White must win and so will play something dangerous to avoid Black forcing a simple draw. When Anand saw that Smirin was deviating from his usual opening, he says that he stopped to think what players and tournaments Smirin had been in recently. He was trying to figure out if there was some new trap or opening that had been developed recently using that move. Once he had an idea what Smirin was going for (which could have been ten moves out), he decided what opening he would play to avoid that line. The plan worked. Anand was able to prevent Smirin from getting any momentum in his attack. He sacrificed a piece to try to get a clear path for his center pawns (to try to queen one of them), but Anand was able to trade away enough pieces that Smirin couldn't keep the position active enough to win.
