Black to move. What is the best continuation for Black?
8/8/4pp1k/5b1p/P2q1P2/R2B1P2/1PK1Q2P/6r1 b – – 0 33
1. … Bxd3+ 2.Rxd3 Qc4+ 3.Kd2 Qc1+#
If 2.Qxd3, then 2. … Rg2+ 3.Kd1 Qg1+ 4.Qf1 Qxf1+#
If 3.Rc3, then 3. … Qxe2+ and sure win for Black.
…Qc4
…Qc4
Right idea, maybe good enough to win, but premature. Don’t feel bad; Anand didn’t find 33…Bxd3+! either.
anand didn’t even calculate, he blitzed 33…Bh3, which is what he probably had already decided upon as early as his 29th or 30th move
