You (and they did) have his clock wrong, he's had 24 mins.
The 2012 World Championship of Chess!
Ooo wow Anand is allowing BxN. I liked how Timman saw the mate in a flash if Black replies QxB.
I didn't see it - I thought the black bishop covered the mate!
Timman's line was:
BxN QxB
Re8+ Bf8 (blocks)
Bh7+! Kh8
RxB mate
We are at move 24, one hour and forty-five minutes into game four, and it's time for another cup of tea
One thing I'm learning from these games is that there is no point going for a win if there is no win to be had. In this position, with either white or black, I'd be (pointlessly) going for a win
If Timman wants to avoid the bishop exchange, he must play 25. Bb4. The alternative 25. Bd2 loses at once to Bxf2+!

So would I, but we wouldn't be playing Anand or Gelfand

Good point Trysts
But here's another thing I am always amazed by. Timman found 26 ... g6 obvious, and clearly so did Anand! I must be blind
Woo Gelfand played Timman's move 22. Bc3
