That's one of the reasons why I am not watching human WC. It is full of errors and blunders, engine themselves will never play.
It also shows what a true patzer Anand is, by throwing away a won game...
The gods of chess favored Topalov today.

Calling Anand a patzer is like calling a razor blade dull. They are both clueless, erroneous statements. Now if you were to say Anand played weaker than a top engine, they here we could see some common ground.

You have to use what you got. He put time pressure on Anand and he fluttered.

It was a good and illustrative game today. Timing is part of chess.

It was the grand fight in the game.
They made mistakes which engines would not do but (for sure) they are playing the moves which engines would not find too.
