I think you are grossly under-estimating Anand.  You don't want to play
moves that complicate things, you want to play moves that win.  You play
Rxe6 against Anand, you may as well take a shower with your electric toaster,
because he'll calculate that position, probably in blitz time control, and
rip the rook and the game...

Complicated and unsound together don't work.  Complicated without being unsound
is ok.
