In the Leko v/s Anand Game, R7 of Morelia, GM Marin on chessbase stated that white missed a very good combination on move 25 that would leave to move 26. Bd8! What is so good about this position?!
Marin suggested:
25.Bxc6+ Rexc6
26.Bd8!
Black's queen is threatened. If black takes the bishop with rook, it will soon loose its queen:
26...Rxd8
27.Qg8+ Qf8
28.Rxd8+ and black looses its queen.
so black will rather:
26...Qxb4 (to stay on the diagonal and block mate Qg8# )
27.Rxa7 Qf8 (black needs to prevent white mating with Qxf7# )
28.Qe5+ and from there its a win for white (black will loose its queen at some stage to prevent mate)

26...Qf8 is better for black, but after
27.Qe5 Be6
28.Q:b5
and white bishop goes to f6
