Definitely have a Carlsen position now. White has a better pawn structure and active rooks; Black has a bishop and lots of light squares.

Game on.

Looks like a draw to me as long as Anand doesn't fak it up.

Dont know why Carlsen is tanking so long when he only really has one move.....

32 e6 looks pretty good , like Rdc1 as well , Anand cant go into endgame as those queen side pawns will win

This is best feed I've found.  There's a board that they don't mess about with all the time, really annoys me when I'm having a right good gern at the position and its either a) not right cause they're fucking about with it or b) they start messing about when halfway through me having a good gern.

Yeah, they seem to get lost playing their own game sometimes.

Have to feel sorry for the commentators, here.

How on Earth do you explain this position to a novice or club player? It is an absolutely beastly position to play over the board; forget what the computer says. A county player here would almost inevitably make a pigs' ear of this, with suboptimal moves galore. It is hard to get across just how imcredible the standard of play by these two is.

Played another 20 moves confirming the fact the game was going to be another draw, I turned it off after about move 44, clearly wasn't going anywhere.
