May-29-04		radu stancu: Wow, this was one complicated afair ! And even if the queen move at the end obviously wins, it's still quite a move...

May-29-04		poktirity: Strange game.

Dec-28-05		Eatman: This must be quite an anomaly, Traxler gambit at the highest level of play at the end of 20th century. Anand plays what is considered the refutation but all it gets him is an unclear middlegame.

Dec-04-06		tak traxler: Karpov vs Beliavsky, 1983 In the traxler, Belialvsky felt that 6.... Qe8 was not the best move yet he still managed the win. (according to his 2 Knights defense book). He felt proper play was per the game sited above back in the 80's against Karpov. It is nice to see this sharp line played at the higher levels.

Dec-04-06		Resignation Trap: It seems to me that Vishy was doing just fine until 44.Nc5+?? Qxc5!

Dec-26-08		GrahamClayton: When Queens are under attack, look at every possible move, every capture and check - Anand must have thought that Black would move his King out of check, thus giving time for Anand to move his Queen.

Jan-03-09		WhiteRook48: 44 Nc5+?? what an Anand mistake
