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... | ||

Computer analysis is not particularly useful in analysing endgames like this though.

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. | ||

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. | ||
