Well, with the Knight on c4 it seems like a decent square BUT it's not a solid, firm post and it could be made to just drift in the wind. How to support it?

with b5? Maybe?

Wow, Anand surprising us with Nd5!

Why isn't the knight on c3 hanging after Qa4?

Lol live commentary on chessbomb - "Now we´re going to have a quick changeover and introduce Grandma!" ... commentary breaks off, then 20 sec later "...sters Susan Polgar and ..."

Shame, I was looking forward to Grandma´s commentary!

The a5 knight is defended by the queen, there is no c4 knight, it is hanging and Qa4 would be a blunder.

I just hope that there isn't a quick draw by Qb3 Na5 Qb2 Nc4.

No, it is on a5 covered by Queen on d8.
