Mar-12-05		GMAstle: Re3 here on the last move is wierd, maybe Anand wanted to let the guy have some dignity, because he could have mated him with Qf2, but i think he let him resign.

Apr-18-06		silvio: Even after only 50 moves even a top grandmaster may overlook the mate on f2. I dont believe that it has anything to do with granting dignity (?). Re3 was simply programmed in the technic that would be right in a different setting.

Oct-05-07		arminsson: Looks like a mocking to me.

Dec-18-07		PAWNTOEFOUR: <arminsson>...gm anand seems like one of the most gracious and nicest guys to ever play this game......i'm inclined to agree with silvio......besides we've all overlooked the 'correct' move occasionally
