Anand's Killer Blow - 2008 World Chess Championship

Found the winning move in 1 second, especially with the pawn and the intuition.

But do not be fooled - it is far easier to find the winning move while sitting at home, relaxed, rather than after some tiring GM level games.

Perhaps we could have some blogs with more calculation to more accurately simulate the difficulty of this (as impossible as it is)

Found/guessed it, but mainly because there was no other candidate (except maybe Nxh2 Kxh2 Rxf1 which is not winning, and they said there was a winning blow). I find more interesting the complete sequence, as explained in the post.
