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

Not really the derivitives plus Stockfish are wrong in their evaluation.
Why do you think so?

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"?

Sven
Because they said White was winning outright if I read the evals correctly.

White does have the advantage and may work out the win. I hope so anyway.
"winning outright" was not stated by an engine. As I said, +0.80 is an "advantage", especially if you know typical Stockfish evals.

Sven
The derivitives are claiming that. They still are even after Anand blew Nxe6...sigh..

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.

Don't worry, they are playing to lose, expect another blunder!

Because of his rush to make time control. He had 4 minutes left on his clock. Still the move was not the best.

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.
