| gBizzle: i hate when i get beat really bad in the opening like that, its really embarassing when you resign 3 minutes into the round with everyone around... the other day i was on board 1 and got aknight pinned, then got killed also another time on board 1 i got my queen trapped in the opening, even more embarassing |

| Nasruddin Hodja: Dr. Lecter: After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. Nc3 Bc4?? 6. Qe2!, 6. ... d5 still loses a piece after 7. d3 d4 8. dxe4 dxc3 9. exf5+. After his awesomely awful 5th move, Anand was correct to resign unless he wanted to play the rest of the game a piece down. Me, I'd resign immediately and then take a large shot of vodka in order to wash off the taste of humiliation ;-) |

| Chess Classics: Makes me feel better about hanging pieces...
Did Anand ever explain why he hadn't had this prepared, if he was going to play the Petroff? Seems perplexing. Regards,

| centercounter: Alas, this is the kind of lesson, as a youngster, that teaches you WHY you must prepare. We've all been there. Most of us don't really give a <CENSORED> but those who play for a living have to do the work. |

| somitra: <Grunfeld: Actually, no. There are quite a few one-move draws between GMs; even if you look at decisive games between GMs, the shortest is this one: Fischer vs Panno, 1970> This comment on page 1 needs to be updated. Now the shortest game in the history of chess ending in a decisive result between GMs is Kramnik vs Topalov, 2006. I can bet million dollars that this record will never be broken. :D |

| newton296: <Dr.Lecter: what's the analysis after Qe2? Can't Anand play d5 or something? Why exactly did he resign> there is no time for ...d5
the threat is d3 winning the pinned knight for a pawn . only way to break the pin and protect the knight is ...Qe7. but then nd5 is is a killer. |

| mcgee: A better game by a world champion that features the same idea: Spassky vs J C Hawksworth, 1987

| Eyal: <A few seconds later [after playing 5...Bf5] 6.Qe2 dawned on me, and Alonso as well was really shocked. I think he thought that a strong grandmaster could not play such a move, so he sat there calculating himself. And now I had the choice, which was to just make my move, play a piece down for another twenty moves so that none of these magazines could publish it as a miniature, and you don't need to be reminded for the rest of your life that you lost a game in six moves. But that would mean that my fellow players in the tournament hall might come by and notice that I'm a piece down and start laughing ... So I decided to go for Plan B, which was to resign and then get out of the hall as quickly as possible, so that nobody would notice. This worked successfully - for many days people thought I had agreed to a short draw with Alonso - a very short draw.> (http://www.chesscafe.com/Reviews/bo...) |

| hedgeh0g: Ah...the blunder variation of the Petrov. Seldom seen, but quite playable for White. |

| WhiteRook48: what a pin. Anand fell on the Zapata potato chips. :) |

| Poulsen: The Anand of 1988 was not the Anand of 2008 |

| KingG: At least Anand had the decency to resign. Most players just play on to avoid having such a short loss. A recent example would be Ivanchuk vs Bu Xiangzhi, 2008, where Bu should have resigned at move 9. |

| WhiteRook48: Anand blunders!
I would have played 5...Nxc3 causing doubled pawns |

| Helios727: <Somitra>, None can beat that record but here is one that ties it: Fischer vs Spassky, 1972 |

Already lose... try to do it. |

| walker: In 1988 Annand knew well Petroff. This could be a case of a wrong touch or something like this. I play Petroff all the time online and never...and I mean NEVER anyone had done this kind of mistake. . In the CG'
s database there is another similar blunder by a GM.In both cases I believe the reason is different. |
