Semi-Finals
Match Two: Kramnik v Smyslov
Game One
Vladimir Kramnik - Vasily Smyslov
Bogo-Indian
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4+
There are 41 examples of Smyslov playing the Bogo-Indian in ChessBase's 2020 Mega database, compared with 40 for the Queen's Indian: 3...b6.
4.Bd2
Five examples of Kramnik playing this compared with four for 4.Nbd2.
4...a5

This is as far as we can go as Kramnik has not faced 4...a5 in Mega20

The analysis engines Stockfish11 and Komodo11.01 give White an averaged advantage of +47.5

Game Two
Vasily Smyslov - Vladimir Kramnik
Spanish Berlin
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6 4.0-0 Nxe4 5.Re1 Nd6 6.Nxe5 Be7

We have reached exactly the same position as in game one of the quarter-final Smyslov - Lasker, which had to be called here as Smyslov did not face 6...Be7

White's advantage in this position, according to the averaged evaluations of Stockfish11 and Komodo11.01, is 34.5 - not enough for Smyslov to overturn Kramnik's score in the first game of this semi-final.
