| Jan-23-15 | | Patanjali: On my machine Houdini 4 finds 24...Nc7 in under 5 seconds using a single thread. But other engines require more time. Either way, it's amazing that Anand was able to find this move over the board. |
|
| Feb-03-15 | | Kinghunt: Stockfish still has issues with this position, one of the few that still eludes (some) engines. |

| May-09-15 | | FairyPromotion: <offramp: I <think> this could be the greatest game of all time.> Many times in sports, and probably in art too, being <the best> does not equal to being <the greatest.> Chess is both, and it is no exception. For example I have no question in my mind about which game was Fischer's best, it's R Byrne vs Fischer, 1963. Yet "Game of the Century" is definitely his greatest. Likewise, this game might not even be regarded as the greatest of Anand in a couple of years (Aronian vs Anand, 2013 is being labeled as "Anand's Immortal,") but it is his best. In fact I also think that this is one of the best ever played, probably even the best ever. As far as single moves go, black's 24th might be both the best and the greatest. While visually 24... Nc7 is not as flashy as some queen sacs, the depth of it still baffles a lot of engines. The ensuing combination is filled with original ideas that are extremely hard to comprehend before playing down a few more moves. All in all, I find this game to be quite underrated. I'm glad someone thinks the same. =) |

| | offramp: < posoo: A previous kibitzer noted that this game somewhat loses its appeal because 24....Nc7 is the novelty...the implication is that Anand planned all this in advance, thereby making it less amazing.
I thought about this for a while...and then realized that it is the very fact that top players must plan in advance that makes chess today great. Chess has evolved to such a high level that there is an avalanche of theory. A top chess player must know it all, and then try to figure out exactly what lines his opponent may use. He must anticipate anything and everything. He is like an NFL head coach, diagramming schemes and deciding how he matches up best against his opponent. And he may have a few trick plays up his sleeve too... THe fact is that there is not enough theory to cover the opening 3 moves...which first three moves are white's best? It's unclear. And so the amount of theory grows exponentially with every move. Great chess, hurrah hurrah hurray!>
Well said. This is a brilliant game. |

|
| Apr-01-18 | | positionalgenius: Still one of the best games I've ever seen. The move ...Nc7! is simply brillant. |
|
| Jan-05-19 | | MrJafari: Nice and interesting game. As many mentioned Kc7 was the best move...Added to favorites game collection! |

 | | saffuna: The 365chess analysis engine suggests 27...Nf6 as a different way to free the f8 rook and start the attack. |

|

 | | NM JRousselle: Rxa3 followed by a series of knight checks should do the trick after 27 Rxd6 |

| Jun-26-23 | | Landman: Some years ago, if you picked the most common move at each step in the cg database, you'd end up at this game. Is this still the case? Other databases? |
