I don´t think there is a question about Rublevskys form.
He made it to the final.

Of course it was a relatively bad game for a 2650 player.
Nothing unusual though since the opponent was Anand.
Some of Anands opponents seem to lose their common sense or overlook basic
tactics.
It´s a psychological problem.
