White has to play for the win now, since his position is advantageous but is a pawn down. So either Anand has to press his advantageous position or he'll lose. That's why this is gonna be exciting :D
Carlsen plays like 95% computer moves and engines are always happy to be a pawn up since they can always find some defense and later on exploit the material advantage.

Honestly there's not much for white to press, it's not a very dynamic position. It's not clear that white has anything here.

It's funny how Carlsen's pieces are completely uncoordinated right now.
But it takes only a few pawn breaks and everything seems fine.

what accent do people prefer? the hungarian or the indian?

Good example right here of why you actually need to look at lines. Strategically Nb5 makes sense, you want to start targetting the c7 pawn. In this position though, it's simply the wrong move order. Carlsen has a6 now, there's no sac so the knight will probably be forced to d4 where it doesn't really belong.

If Carlson somehow lets Anand play Nc5 it would turn quite badly.

Yeah I am also questioning this move.. what did it do exactly for white?!

Nd4 looks quite annoying to have to do for white.
I don't know where this is going though.

a6 is best right now, you can't let that knight stay there.

I don't know, maybe he's hoping he gets to play e6 and put a knight there? e6 with knights on d4 and f4 looks quite crushing. Hard to believe that's realistic though.

oh.. Rc1 was totally possible there. I wonder what would have happened with this move..
|
And now Anand misses his shot, wow...
|
Anand went for Nb5 but didn't go for R to c file immediately? Why?

Adaptation(GM) kibitzes: Rc2 was a draw
Adaptation(GM) kibitzes: it wasnt easy though. Rc2 Nd5 Nb4!! Nxb4 Rxc7 Ka6 Nd6 b5 Rxf7 is enough for white
Adaptation(GM) kibitzes: they both thought the recapture was automatic

I think Carlsen have good alternatives to play here, but I'm worried that he has begun taking lots of time for his moves.

This is precisely the right time to take lots of time for his moves ^^

I'm curious what he didn't like about the immediate a6. Seemed much more straightforward than what he's gone for here.
