Someone may have posted similar analysis so sorry if I'm about to repeat something. My view on computers when faced with opposite side castling is that computers do not do as well as strong human players. The standard plan as we are all familiar with is to attack the king and this a think is still an advantage for humans. Could Anand have come up with a better plan in this game even after the exchange sac? I'm wondering if Bd2 on move 24 was best? Did anyone post lines starting with 24. Bg4 as a possibility? As a quick indicator of where this move leads I sparred with Rebel 8 at one move per minute on a K6-233.(I realize a far cry from Rebel 10 on the twice as fast 450 at 40/2). I eventually got a rook to g1 and the dark squared bishop to b2. Rebel 8 at this short control had difficulty and lost when the central pawns started moving.
