    Yes! My favorite game and one of the few I remember, I knew I had a winning position if I could just spot it because I had a discovered check coming up. I realized what I had to do was offer a seeming sacrifice, but he never got to take it because the next move after the discovered check was a back row checkmate with a rook and a knight.

    In Anand vs Lautier notice that h6 was actually a superfluous move. The black bishop can also go the other way and check on a3. As there is no way to structurally interpose this it leads to the same style checkmate. I saw this but it was also confirmed by Magnus Carlsen who did the Vishy quiz on his 50th birthday.
