Anand vs Topalov Game 9

[AdminX]

Now Anand has lost all advantage...f***!

Anand might lose this now. With the king over to support the b pawn, the advantage might well shift right over to black.

Anand still has chances, only because they are two humans playing.

While true, I think it is now Anand who has the more difficult position to play, and not Topalov.

I tell you, this is how I feel after I let the computer analyze my games.

This is what Stockfish 1.7.1-JA currently thinks about the position after 40...Kd7:
[D]7R/p2k4/4p1p1/1p2n1N1/7P/2q2P2/6P1/4R2K w - - 3 19[/D]

Viswanathan Anand

We lose our pawns once past 40.

You just had to go and rub salt into my wounds, didn't you! Hey , what will happen when I hit fifty??

Remind me of a old Moms Mabley joke.

"Old man walking down the street, He see a little boy crying. Little boy, what's the matter? Little boy says, "I can't do what the big boys do." Well the Old Man Cried too ..."

[Damir]

Well, seems I was correct when I said it was a match between who can play the worst moves. Another blunder again...

I wonder how much Topalov team payed Anand to make such blunders...?

Both are actually not playing the best moves like we've seen in previous games. Topalov just gave Anand the advantage again, although only slight advantage.
