Subject: Interesting Position (from Anand-Bologan)

In the round 2.2 of the World Championship in India (1st Dec.),
Anand faced IGM Bologan with white, and reached the following position :

[D] 2b1rb1k/2r2ppp/n2p4/3P2PN/3NPQ2/2p3RP/1q3PK1/1B1R4 w - -

Bologan has just played 36. ... c3 with (what looks like)
a very good position for black (the c3 pawn is a monster).

But Anand played here an impressive move that forced his opponent to
resign 5 moves later:

Nf6!!

The idea is that after
37. Nf6 gxf6
38. gxf6 Re5
39. Nf5! is winning for white

and after:
37. Nf6 gxf6
38. gxf6 h6
39. Kh1 (with the idea Rdg1) is very strong for white.

Is any program able to find Nf6 at tournament time control ?

Regards.
