| hecrmara: I think that the Teimour's mistake was 12.Bb2, obtaining only an unuseful bishop. Note the impact of that move in the developement of the game. Another questionable move was 20. a4, which gave Vishy a free passed pawn (and decisive) |

| patzer2: Haven't run it through a computer, but it seems to me that whether White plays 20. a4 or not, Anand is going to pound away at the Queenside with decisive advantage, exploiting the holes for his pieces and the backward and isolated pawns. Can't really blame White for trying to get some activity and counterplay going to force the issue in a bad position, as opposed to making passive moves and letting Anand pick apart the position at his leisure. |

| Jack Rabbit: Concerning the move 12. Bb2?!, there is a line in MCO-14 close to this that would suggest 12. Qa2 as an alternative (see Queen's Indian/Petrosian col. 4, p. 558); the game cited is Khalifman-Ivanchuk, Elista 1998, which I cannot find in the database. |

| RonB52734: Lol looking back on a previous post, I think the word I was looking for was marquee! Thank goodness the spelling police don't patrol here often. And I guess <PieceOffer> has to share some credit with <chessgames.com> for opening my eyes to Vishy, because of this week's puzzle theme. |

| PieceOffer: <RonB52734> Always glad to pick up more Vishy fans! In playing many of his games, I feel like I am invited into the sacred space where his mind resides, beyond normal intelligence into an area of cognition, to take a creative leap over this chasm which I could not cross by myself. It's the same feeling I get, going through Euler's proofs. For example, his solution of the recurring seres 1 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/4^2 ....(i.e summation to infinity of 1/k^2). His solution involves many smaller results (each brilliant by itself), rahter like setting up the myriad chess pieces in strategic squares, and then putting it all together in a brilliant execution with magical results (in this case, a very counter-intuitive result pi^2/6). I believe a solution to sigma(1/k^3)remains unsolved - maybe a <chessgames> kibitzer will solve that one :-) |

| Boomie: Anand's mastery of the open position seems on par with the best all time. At least as good as Fischer and maybe in the same class as Tal and Morphy, who I think were the best open field runners ever. |

| harce sarmiento: Anand definitely had calculated ahead and decided on the Queen sacrifice. Its awesome considering that the game was Rapid and he had limited time to do all the calculations. He is an astonishing player! |
