1. d4!!!

For real, as great as the knight sacrifices are, I liked Game 4's 26. exf6.

Having already sac'd a knight, with this move, Anand said, "Here, I won't bother to take back the piece you just took. I didn't want it anyway." Those are some serious gonads.

With games like that, I'll be unpleasantly surprised if Topalov is able to come back and win the Championship.

I didn't understand Qa3 at all but from what I am hearing now the point was that
Anand was able to line up his rooks and get a positional advantage as compensation
for the doubled outside pawns.
