In the first game Shirov pressed Anand's Caro-Kann, but the Indian GM held firm.
Game two involved the sharp Anti-Moscow Gambit where White sacrifices the c4-pawn for activity.
Vishwanathan Anand went to to beat Alexei Shirov in a delightful attacking game after sacrificing one knight (refused) and then later on his other knight, both of which were justified due to Black's vulnerable king.
