Anand vs Topalov Game 9

[Terry McCracken]

Anand can not find the move. I hope Topalov draws....

Go to....

Anand did not find the winning move(s). Now Stockfish 1.7.1 analyzes it close to draw, at least after some seconds:

This game has now become painful to watch! I'd love to see the look on Anand face postmortem.

Almost disturbing.

Bit lips maybe....?

I think Anand is in a terrible position now. He might well lose from here.

I'm going to hang myself; Anand has no excuse!

[kingliveson]

Anyway, I expect Topalov to blunder again since that is what this game is about.

But will Topalov see everything now? He may also get into a position where only one move draws.
