Anand vs Topalov Game 11

[gerold]

White could lost this game

[yanquis1972]

bizarre. closing in on 2 consecutive ultraprecise, if a bit dull, games, and anand plays a completely inexplicable move...weird. it will be a major struggle for him to hold this.

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Wow, how on Earth does Anand hold this now, against two connected passed pawns?

I wrote much earlier that the key to the outcome of the game is the white b pawn....now it's gone as I predicted from the aggressive endgame actions of Topalov and Anand is in deep trouble now....I mean real God damn trouble....

Me either. I'm trying to see if I can predict the moves, but failing badly right now.
