[UncombedCoconut]

Stockfish really doesn't like Topalov's last two captures...

I think after the Queen check, K h3, but Rd4 is too strong

Either Anand mates, either he fails, but that won't be a draw! Today is the last game of the world championship!

SF gives Rd4 (that was played) a +5.17 at depth 22!

Now Black has White in a mating net... just has to be cool...

average search depth 11 half-moves after 0:39 min; evaluation -3.55 means black has decisive advantage

After Ne3, the surprising winning continuation is Qe8 Will Anand see it? (of course he will, won't he?)

99% Black wins.
1% draw.
0% White wins.
IMHO
