Now after few moves, 22..Rad8 seams really like a bad idea. Nc5 was the strongest there...

25.e5! does now win. I hope that Anand is going to play this, but I don't believe he is going for a draw in a position like this and e5 is not very difficult to see, but only difficult to calculate completely. :)

Topalov just blundered! :S (ok, easy to say with the help of an engine). He played Bxg2 and Stockfish now gives exf6 a +8.88 mark!

This game is over, just too many mating threats and white needs only 1 tempo for a rook lift. I guess Anand is also well prepared for the match and it is not only Topalov with access to strong computer analysis. I would like to know if this game was played finding moves over the board (especially e5). I have a feeling this is all preparation by Anand.
