Well, seems I was correct when I said it was a match between who can play the worst moves. Another blunder again...

The derivitives are claiming that. They still are even after Anand blew Nxe6...sigh..Sven Schüle wrote:"winning outright" was not stated by an engine. As I said, +0.80 is an "advantage", especially if you know typical Stockfish evals.Terry McCracken wrote:Because they said White was winning outright if I read the evals correctly.Sven Schüle wrote:Why do you think so?Terry McCracken wrote:Not really the derivitives plus Stockfish are wrong in their evaluation.kingliveson wrote:This game seem to be a competition on who can play the worst moves.
As far as I could see after playing through the variations shown here, the evaluations looked plausible for me, at least. Still a +0.80 or +1.00 does not mean to have a "won position", of course. But why do you say "wrong"?

White does have the advantage and may work out the win. I hope so anyway.

Don't know what Anand is seeing now, but Rh8+ seems to have blown any advantage he might have had. He's let the king out to the defense of the passed pawns.

Because of his rush to make time control. He had 4 minutes left on his clock. Still the move was not the best.kingliveson wrote:Well, seems I was correct when I said it was a match between who can play the worst moves. Another blunder again...

Anand might lose this now. With the king over to support the b pawn, the advantage might well shift right over to black.

If he goes on to lose this series, he will look back on this game and that move.AdminX wrote:Because of his rush to make time control. He had 4 minutes left on his clock.
