I think that Anand is completely outclassed in them, even though he managed to survive this one.

I haven't followed professional chess in a long time; I was referring to personal experience on my fairly scrubby level(~1900 USCF when I was actually active, which hasn't been in a while).

Edit: Personally, I like the official stream better, though.

Bxc7 seems like a very Quackamura-esque move.

This looks like it's going to end in a draw.

Carlsen should really stop trying to squeeze blood from a stone.
