Thanks Tony! Aha, so there is a digital version of the Informator as well! I had
Topalov''s analysis from NiC magazine and with Anand's notes and Jiri Dufek's
hint and my own notes, I now have four different angles to look at the game. Now
we are getting somewhere! I see already that Anand has a different line for
17... Re8 and not yet a clear refutation of 11.Neg5.
I think he's planning some sweet Indian home cooked-recipe with lots of strong
curry in it in revenge for that devastating loss to Topalov Regards,
Eelco
