Following Kulaots-Grabarczyk, 2008 1/2 through move 18. Wonder what they're thinking?!!

Re: Topalov-Anand Game 12
Looks to me that Topalov has lost his mind. Looks like I save $500 and Anand wins, both good things. ;-)"Tom is a well known racist, and like most of them he won't admit it, possibly even to himself." - Ed Seedhouse, October 4, 2020. -

Amazing, Topa-scum played 30.e4, and now even I could win with black... Go Vishy.Comment

Re: Topalov-Anand Game 12
Totally wild after 41.Nf5+..... but I think that Anand is going to do it. Threat involves Rh4+ and Qg4 mate in many lines.Comment

Re: Topalov-Anand Game 12
I think Anand missed a win at move 40. He played 40...Kg7 and the game goes on
(41.Nf5+ looks forced, and Black is probably still better). But 40...Kh7! 41.Rh8+ (there is little else) 41...Kxh8 42.Qf8+ Qg8 43.Qxe7 Bg2+!! 44.Nxg2 Qc8 and White is dead to a discovery (per Fritz).
High drama!!Comment

All over folks, looks like Anand has defended his crown. Just some mopping up left...Comment

Re: Topalov-Anand Game 12
It seems more likely that Anand missed some things along the way (I am especially wondering about Anand's 40th move - perhaps rushed due to time control problems?).Originally posted by Frank Dixon View Post
Nevertheless, it must be a sweet victory for Anand!...Mike Pence: the Lord of the fly.Comment

Re: Topalov-Anand Game 12
I like the way Black played beginning with f5. Very instructive attack and endgame. Plenty of mating threats and queen pins.Comment
