It is hard to know what happened when he took, but now the position will crumble in a flash. [31.Nd2
was completely necessary so as to support e4, after which the position would have remained balanced. Ex: 31...fxe4

] 31...e4
32.fxe4??
At the last minute, clearly fearful he was losing a grip on his position, he loses his nerve, and now it is all over provided Anand doesn't return the favor. [32.Re3
was the only move to try and hold. 32...exf3+
