In the candidates match Topalov won the second game with the black pieces. Kamsky lost a lot of time from the start and never came back. He resigned in move 32 with only 18 seconds left. You can see a critical position in the diagram on the right side. Instead of 20.Qxg6 Kamsky chose to win a piece with 20.Qxd5 cxd5 21.Nd6 (threatening Nxf7 and Nxc8 followed by Rxe6). But then - after 21.- Rc7! - he did not continue the combination because 22.Nxc8 Raxc8 23.Rxe6 Rxc2 is a desaster position. His 22.c4 was not better and also led to a desaster. So, 20.Qxg6 had to be played here.
