He's got to win at least twice with the white pieces I know that is easy to say but we all know Black is hard to win with and other than draws he's had no success
I think it was a great fight by Topalov to find a draw in a seemingly lost position. Topalov's stubborn attitude refusing to resign and Anand's time trouble was used as psychological factors to help coax a draw out of the position. This is what makes chess between humans so much more interesting then watching computers.
Surprised Anand didnt win this after Rg7 at the time control. Maybe there was no win there- I don't know but Topalov looked in bad shape to me. Good game- I think they both missed chances. Hard to decline taking the Q for 2Rs- Anand played well.
anand missed win,
rh8+ was mistake,
should have played re2,
also he should of taken e pawn with night instead of h pawn.
It was a very strange line to take.
In any case, rybka would definitely have won from there, and saw the moves as very strong.
