@@robby12320 That's like saying Aronian's Bishop to a3 would not have been a blunder if Duda didn't spot the mate in one afterwards. It's still a blunder, even if the enemy isn't able to profit from it. In that case, both are blundering, because it also counts as that if you fail to spot a good opportunity to win a game.

@@robby12320 For an endgame expert like Carlsen, yes, this is a blunder. Especially since he steered that game towards an early endgame by trading two rooks for a queen. That's usually his strategy, steering the game towards an endgame he knows he will be winning, even if the difference that makes it winning for him is only a single pawn.
