🔸Bundesliga 2017
🔸Round 1
⚪️Anand,Viswanathan (2783)
⚫️ Li,Chao b (2739)
🔸½-½

📘 Anand missed the win by playing 50.Kg3?. He could have won by playing 50.Kf4!
Can you spot the difference between these two moves?
A) 50.Kg3? Re2! (50...Kf5? 51.e6+-) 51.e6 (51.Kf4 h4! 52.e6 h3) 51...Kf6 52.Rf7+ Ke5!=
B) 50.Kf4! h4 51.e6 h3 52.e7 Re2 53.Kf3! (53.Kg3 h2!) Re1 or Re5 54.Kg3+-
It seems that 50.Kf4 was necessary to keep e5 out of black king's hands.
