Anand is long regarded as a solid and classical player, quietly building up his position. Topalov is an uncompromising fighter, always looking at intensifying the struggle.
Every once in a while we get a glimpse of the youthful attacking Anand - a sacrificial attack with reduced material. Game 4 was another example of that remarkable talent being unleashed.
Over the years, Topalov is famous for games he has lost; it's not often he loses, but when he does it often is because of a brilliancy or dashing attack. Game 4 was one of those performances.
Even though I feel game 2 was a far better quality, game 4 will probably be the game that people will remember.
