Nd5+!? can win too.

Look at the nice g2-b7 diagonal

But the game is not over yet, Anand has two opponents (one displays 11 minutes left).

Only if Anand makes some more moves. 12 minutes left.[/quote

Anand has to keep after the King.]

Topalov strategy now is to pressure Anand on time.

Even the now dated Hiarcs 12.1 is showing a win for white.

Blunders or not, this was a great game to watch!

Topalov might resign here.


ps Nope, I was too optimistic. Rh5 is the only move to win here, and it's played.
