Re: Anand vs Topalov Game 11
in talking about this game, yes, the computers seem to have boiled it down to a draw for some time. but in talking about the outcome of the game it's important to trust in anand than stockfish.Uri Blass wrote:Stockfish say that it is a draw so I believe that it is a draw.Dr.Wael Deeb wrote:It's not....Topalov is too aggressive in his playing style and he won't miss this opportunity,unless he chickens out....Terry McCracken wrote:Why?

wael is correct, topa is pushing and anand will have to walk a tightrope before they shake hands.

Re: Anand vs Topalov Game 11
The black passed pawns are extremely dangerous....besides the fact that the white knight is stucked on the king side,things are not looking good for Anand....Aser Huerga wrote:Could a rook and a+b pawns wins against rook + knight?
I recall similar positions from Botvinnik's games and the guy almost always grabs the full point with black....

Re: Anand vs Topalov Game 11
topalov may also lose the game(for example if he blunders by
61.Rc3 b2??)
61.Rc3 b2??)

Re: Anand vs Topalov Game 11
Now watch out for this variation: on 61.Rc3!, if Topalov would play 61...b2?? 62.Rxc5! b1=Q?AdminX wrote:[d]8/p2r2k1/5pP1/2n2P1K/5N2/1p2R3/8/8 w - - 0 61
For this reason Topalov must answer 61...Rd4, and the rook ending will be quite drawish.
