I defended the queenside with a6, Nd7 and leaving the queen's bishop and rook on their original squares. I thought Anand is hoping that I will try to do something more to counter his queenside advancing of pawns and pieces. I had counter attack in mind on his kingside. 17.Na4

After g3, black owns the g-file for attack. The queen's bishop and rook can join the attack in just two moves. 26.h3

[I missed 30...Nfg4
which wins instantly! The first knight takes a big defender rook out and the second knight ready to follow the first knight's trail (23...Nh7 was its preparation). White's other pieces will have trouble helping the king side.] 31.Rxf1

Unfortunately, at this point the simul was paused. Organizers had schedule and timing issues, which led to the termination of the games. An analysis with Anand was granted. Evaluation with Fritz gives around -3.0 in final position, which goes upto -7.0 in next couple of moves. I did take one rook with first knight, but the second knight was planned as a sacrifice with mating attack to follow. The same was discussed in analysis and Anand acknowledged that Black can break through. 0-1
