I believe that there is a reason that GM anderson changed his style. If you want to win games in chess then gambling is not a good idea at least in cases when there is another alternative to get an advantage with no sacrifice at least in the first moves. After Rd7 Qxa1 is not the only line that you need to calculate and there is also Bc8 line that is considered by computers as a draw in the first minutes. Junior5.9 after a long time suggests 1...Bc8 2.Rxg7+ Kxg7 3.Rd1 Bd6 4.Bh6+ Kh8 5.Bxf8 Bxe6 6.fxe6 f5 7.e7 e2 8.e8Q Rxe8 9.Qxe8 Qc6 10.Qxe2 Bxf8(+4.97) It did not finish iteration 19 and it considers the move Bg2+ so it may change its mind and the only way to know is to wait until the end of the iteration.
