White has absolutely nothing ... and I mean nothing! If anything white is worse, but it seems that Anand wants at draw to take it to fast games where he is stronger than Topalov. But if Topalov pushes too much in a position which is similar to squeezing water out of dry concrete, it might provide an opportunity to end this immediately.

Interesting...
Anand is trying for some play since White pieces are un-coordinated.
e4 would be met by f5

Even as I write, e5 has been played, and should be met by f5...

Shredder says f5 is the only good move ...

I like Anand now..His King is safe and Bishop exerts an indirect influence...
Rook controls the d file...
With a little bit of time pressure, anything is possible
