| philnoll: Why haven't i seen anything about this winning chance Anand failed to find.
19.Bc4+! d5 20. Nxd5! Nxd5 21.Bb2! Kh8 22.Bxd4 Qxd4 23.Qxd4 Bxd4 24.Bxd5 Rae8 25.Rae2 Bg4 26.Re3! Bf5 27.a4, or something to the same effect (b5). I cannot actually say that white is winning. in fact black has a lot of counter play. But it's better than what anand played. there is no chance of a black win here |

| ArturoRivera: Philonoll, your line simply doesnt work as you simply overlooked that Kh8 letting the knight in prise as your combination predicted is not necesarry as black can still protected with the rook, know, after all the exchanges in d4, if you treath to use the pin in your favor (only one rook defending the pinned piece) by Rd2, Be6 takes off the pin and protect the piece at the single cost of a pawn, leaving black a knight for two pawns, which i am sure Radjabov would have won quicker. |

| QueensGambitss: I have same opinion than bishopmate, radjabov has talent, but either Anand,Kasparov,Kramnik,would masacrate radjabov in a 14 or 21 march game. |

| QueensGambitss: I know there will be the moment for Anand or Kasparov or Kramnik to play a 14 or 21 match game with radjabov, and youngs temour its gonna get very disapointed, as a matter of fact, i think radjabov will never be world champion |

| Chessography: No offense to Anand, but I really don't like 26. Bb5. What does anyone else think of that move? |

| THE pawn: I don't believe this line has been given before, but on Anand's bad move 26.Bb5, this line really looks like a draw, maybe <patzer2> or <Honza> could back me up on this, I'm not using any computer so there might be some flaws:
26.Re3 Rac8 Ba6 Rc7 Kh1 Ng6 Bb5 Bd4 Re1 Bf2 Rf1 d4 Be2 Bd5 Bg5 Rcf7 a4 (notice the nice formation of opposite pawns!) d3 Bg4 Ne5 Bh5 g6 Bh6 Rb8 Qc1 e3 Well in fact it still looks like a win for black, but as I said, I believe somewhere it gets to be a draw. |

| Whitehat1963: What does white have after 39... Rb1 instead of Radjabov's 39...Rb8? Is he avoiding perpetual check via Qd8, Qh4, etc.? |

| playground player: How in the world are steroids or viagra supposed to help you play chess? They certainly don't seem to have made baseball players any smarter. |

| danial1975: I am surprised to see Anand allow opponent to advance in initial stages while brining back his pieces. The fail starts on move 22.Rf2. It should have been Rxd4. Another move even at 35.Bc3. Best opponenet move is 37.Ng3 arresting the King. |

| backyard pawn: Interesting debate about steroids improving chess performance. I just want to remind, that intelligence is not directly reflected by chess ability or rating. I am certainly not smarter than all of the few chess players with lower ratings than I. Steroids' improving our chess play is not the same as them making us smarter. Of course, taking steroids may be an early indication of lack of smarts. |

| kevin86: An odd sacrifice of the queen that yields rook,knight,bishop,and two connected passed pawns! More like a loan at shark rates! |

| whatthefat: Although Anand is generally considered to be among the best prepared players in the world, even he is not immune to the occasional opening disaster like this one. Other recent examples include: Kramnik vs Anand, 2008
Topalov vs Anand, 2008
Anand vs Aronian, 2009 |
