Although this was a rapid game it's incredible that Ivanchuk who according to British GM David Norwood had about fifty seconds left on his clock was unable to find 29...Qxh1 mate. It's nice to know that even GMs are human.

Took me about twenty seconds to find it. Wild position!
I looked at Qf4+ and Qf5+ first before seeing the mate.
Amazing that Ivanchuk missed this. 
Though, reaching this point in the game, and with such time pressure, his brain was just probably tired.
Playing against Anand isn't easy!
Hurry!!
Your clock: 1:13.
Opponent's clock: 1:11.
Hurry!! Your move. HURRY !! THINK FAST!!
