Anand blundered in a promising position. He resigned immediately because he lost his Queen. Perhaps he forgot that the Black Knight was supported by a pawn.
Very unfortunate. 🙁
I hope he comes back strongly in the rapid part.
And Topalov falls to Kamsky …
as he himself treated him on Nf3, even twice!
