====Wang versus Anand==== {{Chess diagram small | tright | Wang vs. Anand, 2009 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |kd| | | | | |kl| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |pl| | |nd|nd| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Position after 61. Kxa5 }} This position from a [[blindfold chess|blindfold]] game between [[Wang Yue (chess player)|Wang Yue]] and [[Viswanathan Anand]] leads to an example with a forced win even though the pawn is past the Troitsky line.<ref>[http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1541026 Wang vs. Anand]</ref> The game continued :'''61... Kc5''', blocking the pawn with the wrong piece. Black should have played 61...Ne4 62. c4 Nc5!, blocking the pawn on the Troitsky line with a knight, with a forced win. The game continued: :'''62. c4 Ne4''' :'''63. Ka4 Nd4''' :'''64. Ka5'''. Black still has a theoretical forced win in this position, even after letting the pawn advance past the Troitsky line: :'''64... Nc6+''' :'''65. Ka6 Kd6!!''' :'''66. c5+ Kc7''' and Black has a forced checkmate in 58 more moves.<ref>{{Harvcol|Soltis|2010|p=42}}</ref> However, the actual game was drawn. {{clear}}
