Anish doesn't make draws deliberately he just goes for the best move in the position some times it work sometimes it doesn't. On the other hand players like dubov try to find creative ideas instead but it also doesn't work always. Also anish has to protect his rating if he loses too much and loses his rating he won't get invited in top tournaments. Life of a chess player ain't easy.

Amazing game. Was surprised and stunned by Anish’s Q sacrifice and hugely impressed that from that move he drove Carlsen into a corner and heavy - but very clever - defensive moves. But Anish couldn’t quite convert a dominant position to a Win and almost ‘allowing’ Carlsen to draw the game. But this is part of the power being a Master, your opponents almost don’t want to beat you or at least don’t believe they can beat you…

[@TheAnshuman1974]

8:08 "If the king moves.." - To which square please? 7:33 I don't think Nxf2 has been fully analysed! What if white plays Rxf2 after Nxf2? Then the continuation can be: Rxf2 Kxf2 Rf8+ Kg1 And now Rf1+ is not possible due to Nxf1 and Bxd4 is impossible due to Qxd4. And Nf3+ leads to Kxg2! So the black's attack is lost and the knight sacrifice at f2 didn't yield any dividends!

Hi Agadmator! I don't know if I am mistaken but I think at 7:14 after black takes on F2 it's completely winning for white after rook takes on F2 because after that black has no option..... I checked it on stockfish also (33 depth) and it said white was winning with +10.5. Please explain if I am wrong

[@Hemulikala]

If rook takes on f2 black bishop takes on d4, white rook is pinned and white can’t defend it. You probably just forgot to add all pieces in stockfish
