One-Move Brilliancy

I found this in a puzzle mag. This game was played during the 2008 Melody Amber Tournament in Monaco. It was a rapid game between the two highest rated players in the world. Black(Anand) played a move that caused white(Kramnik)

to resign after one move. How did Anand do it?

Qf3 Bxf3 gxf3 and checkmate next move by Rh1.

Qf3 ... (white doesn't take) Rh1+ Bxh1  Rxh1 checkmate.

 

I think that's right o_o

White can't response with Qc6+ as he can't eat his own pawn,

but white could answer with c7+ ... then black responses with Bc7 and

blacks counterattack is blocked.
