I like the conclusion. Kasparov finds tactical resources that are just incredible. He actually blunders when he is near mate and Topalov rallied and almost saves himeself! If you think this game was a walk over you've obviously not looked at it in enough detail. 😉
Where does Kasparov blunder? I once spent several hours analysing that game and don't remember seeing any mistakes by Kasparov in the last half of the game, although Topalov made a few.

It is true that Kasparov often doesnt make finishing the game easy for himself, for example Vs Karpov in 1990 as white in the 20th match game. Instead of 37. Bxg6+ Rxg6 would have mated quickly. He still won though.

I think this link shows a nice selection of games or 'the top 69 games of all time' as according to the chessbase link. It allows one to play through the games, but unfortunately the analysis is in German.

"In a recent interview in New in Chess Magazine, Vishwanathan Anand was asked about his all-time best game. His answer was Anand-Christiansen, Munich 1991, played in a blitz tournament arranged at the end of that memorable (for me) tournament."

This is a very interesting game and a fun read as well. Anand comes from behind and crushes Christiansen.
