| The move that both Toppy and his computer over looked was: | ||||||||||||
| 1. Qxc8+!!� Rxc8 2. Rxc8+� Kh7 3. b6!�� threatening 4.Rc7 and Topalov resigned in view of Be7 4. Bc5 followed by 5.Rc7 |
||||||||||||
| Now, there is an interesting line in which Toppy might have tested Gary's technique by playing 2. Bf8?! allowing 3. Bc5 then following with 3. Qd7� saving Black some tempo and allowing his Queen to penetrate and win the b3 pawn...examine it...you'll find that it is hopeless, too. | ||||||||||||
