Boris Gelfand defeated Vishy Anand in 38 moves in game 7 of the world championship in Moscow.  The first 6 games were drawn.  Gelfand had White.  The opening was a Slav.  Gelfand won a piece and threatened mate.  Five more games to go.

I'd rather say Anand committed suicide out of a totally equal position, by playing weird (trying to put it mildly) moves.

It would be disasterous for chess if Gelfand wins the Championship! :-(

It was very unusual of Vishy to have missed to understand the ending game moves of Borris - developing knights and Rook in rows 5 and 7.
