 | | cornflake: It's always risky when you try to bust a line that your opponent knows very well. I guess this blew up in Anand's face. |

 | | wallnuts23: Nigel, i'm having trouble analysing after Kxf6, Rh3. Can black possibly play Bxf5, followed by Rh8? |

 | | waustad: Spassky once won a brilliancy prize for a line that they'd had on the board all the way to resignation in prep. Has that happened again? |

Rh3 Qf4 - How about this ? |
|
| Apr-24-10 | | A Karpov Fan: what i hate about this is if Anand had deviated with a slightly sub-optimal move earlier on and just played chess he would have had all the chances. but by trying to follow all these 'perfect' engine moves he winds up completely lost by making one mistake, with absolutely no chess played inbetween! |

 | | SteinitzLives: Has Anand tried visiting the bathroom, or was Topo taking up the only stall? |
|
Apr-24-10
 | | Once: <A Karpov Fan: Weren't engines supposed to eliminate this kind of opening disaster from world championship play?> Two possibilities here ... Anand forgot his software-assisted preparation or he is about to unleash an uber-powerful even deeper Fritz move that will prove us all totally wrong. I'm going with theory #1. Shades of Spassky-Fischer, first world championship game, 11 July 1972? |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Every once in a while, I remember how bad I was at tactics. However, I have to wonder if it's good for chess for a player to receive criticism for shoddy preparation at move 23. It seems we're moving closer to the day when contestants won't leave book until after the first time control. |

 | | kellmano: <Sargon: <chancho> This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.> IT was 'it ain't over'. IMO it should have been a fat lady singing. |

 | | Domdaniel: After 24.Nxf6, the follow-up Rh3 is a (winning!) only move in several lines. It's obvious, in a way - Rook to open file near King - but it also means turning down other tempting lines. I *think* I'd see that much if I had the wit to play Nxf6 in a game -- I'm pretty certain these guys will see it. Looks rather like a 1-0 already. This scanty analysis has benefitted from the insight of Nigel Short and the processing power of an old engine ... |

 | | Nigel Short: <wallnuts23> 24...Kxf6 25.Rh3 Bxf5 26.Rf1! is killing. |

26.e5+! (a key move for White in many lines). |
|
Apr-24-10
| | SetNoEscapeOn: <I'm going with theory #1. Shades of Spassky-Fischer, first world championship game, 11 July 1972?> You mean that Kf7 was some kind of "!!!!" move? Yes, I can see that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeXq... |

| Apr-24-10 | | danielpi: Wow. Just woke up -- I figured they'd still be regurgitating opening moves. What the heck happened here?! |
|

 | | plang: <but by trying to follow all these 'perfect' engine moves he winds up completely lost by making one mistake, with absolutely no chess played inbetween!> That is why these sharp lines are so dangerous. The difference between winning and losing can be one slight inaccuracy. |
|
| Apr-24-10 | | Xirtam: According to Pein and Svidler, Anand forgot his analysis and played Kf7 one move too early. "Normal" was Bd7 Rg3 and then Kf7. |
