Clock's close to irrelevant this game. This is a real game now though. Not sure if I should already be cheering for the finishing blow.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

This two connected passed pawns ending looks worse for Black than the engine seems to suggest...

Engines seem to think that the Bxg4 bailout Svidler's suggesting is losing which would make Rf8 the only option (and a pretty sad one).

edit: He played it. I don't think this will end well for Vishy.

This is so weird from Vishy. Giving up a pawn in the form of a Bishop on an open board. He must have really hated what he saw down the passed pawn line.

the ending with two connected passed pawns did look pretty icky.

Dunno if this is any better though...

That stupid 26.Kd2 blunder might have won Carlsen the Championship, it totally destroyed Anand's confidence -_-

My computer eval is flatlining somewhat, which might hint at this being drawish. Computer analysis is not particularly useful in analysing endgames like this though. Caruana apparently also tweeted that he thinks it's a draw.

it does look drawish, but if anyone can win this it's Carlsen

Yah this looks extremely drawish/1-dimensional now.

It's definitely not *extremely* drawish.

No definitely not, Carlsen still has play and can put pressure on the 7th rank with extremely careful play.

Most people would draw here, but Carlsen is great at the endgame. If you're analyzing this position with computers they're also prone to being wrong since they're pretty bad at doing end-game positional analysis, so don't count on an engine saying draw.

If there's anyone watching the video feed a live report of the press conference would be much appreciated.

If vishy plays Rd2 and Rd4 he will defend and if he defends Carlsen will lose the pawn storm battle. I'm telling you that the ending is won for black.

EDIT: He should have taken the chance to trade off the rooks and storm.

Anand would win this endgame approximately 0/100 times against any grandmaster.
