It looks to me that Kramnik would
win with the move:

34. Qe4

It makes a mating threat 35.Qh7 mate.
Anand would try perhaps 34... Qf2+
but it's hopeless: 35.Kb3 etc. or
34... Qc5+ 35Kb3 or 34... Rg2 Kb1 etc.

Regards,

Wlod

In this day and age don't you own ChessBase? A free version is
available at www . chessbase . com

It shows:

34. Qe4 Rg2 35. Kd1 Qg1+ 36. Qe1 Qxh2 37. Bf1 Rg1 and black wins.

Thank you. Indeed, as you have indicated, after
34.Qe4 Rf2+ the continuations 35.Kb1 Qxb2 mate
and 35.Kb3 Rxb2 mate are not too good for white
(except for merciful effect). And, as you showed,
the other line is not good to white either. My
suggestion had no value.

Regards,

Wlod

34. ... Rf2+ looks a lot stronger than Qf2+ to me 35. Kd1 (other king moves
rapidly get you mated) Qg1+ 36. Qe1 Qxh2 -/+, or 35. Qe2 Rxe2 36. Bxe2 Bf5+
etc?

19...h5 20. Nxe6 fxe6 21. Rxd7 Kf8 22. Qd3 Rg7 += 23.Rxg7 Kxg7 24.gxf4 +=
After 24...Rd8 Black has more than enough compensation for the 2 pawns. This
could be very dangerous for Kramnik.

And I don't have rest of game score Wlod, but looks like Susan was right
because Anand won! Phil Innes
