Black has his rook locked up. Needs to free it with f5 perhaps to keep options open fro his King if it needs to rush to the centre...

Re: World Chess Championship (Game 8)
Some comments from PlayChess:
Their commentator has also wondered about the Nc3-a2-c1 idea for White, trying to trap the R on d3. For myself, I like the Rd1 idea (played)---tiny chances for White in the ending with Black's Rook cut off from the Q-side.
But, Rybka3 shows little advantage for white as of now:
24... f5 25. Nc3 Na5 26. Rf3 Nc4 27. Rd3 Qc5 28. Nd1 Nd6 Rybka3_8cpu (0:02.00)+0.19|d20
24... b5 25. Rf3 f5 26. Nf2 fxe4 27. Nxe4 Ne7 28. Rf1 Nd5 29. Rd1 Qa7 30. Qf3 Qb6 31. Ng5 Rh6 Rybka3Mul (0:03.59)+0.30|d16
Edit: I think Anand understood Kramnik's idea and is trying to make an escape route for his rook by playing 24. .. Kh8.

Re: World Chess Championship (Game 8)
Is it me or was Anand a bit passive?
He is one move short...surely Rf3 now...
