Carlsen vs. Topalov

Could anyone tell me why Topalov has resigned in this game?

Because he just dropped a piece, the bishop is hanging.

After dxe6 if the knight takes queen then white is getting two bishops and a rook for a queen, which is more than enough.

He resigned because he was royally flushed

his knight is useless, pawn is hanging, and the rook is on a open file with nothing to protect the king. Magnus would go crazy in this position and topalov did the correct thing

Hi orangehonda,

Thanks for your reply. I have already considered the position as you have meantioned above. However, I believe after 36. Bxd3, the Black should have a better result than a loss :)

Thai,

Oh, I just noticed, the knight is trapped too.

I wonder what fritz would give this position

After some time trying to find the solution for the black. I think, white is gonna win quite certainly.

Thank you all,

Fritz concurs with orangehonda. FWIW It gives the position +3.27. it disliked black's 26. ... Qd8 and 27. ... Be6. However, as Catalyst_Kh is wont to remind us, Fritz and Rybka, while very strong playing engines are not the greatest for positional analysis.
