Yes I would love that back on the live stream. It's a (rather minor) irritant that if I flick back to the stream every so often that I have no idea if what they are showing is the actual position or one of the potential lines they are exploring. Not a massive deal but still.
The "live game with video" has a board that shows all the moves so far, the computer's analysis and the video stream with the players/commentators. Since the video is so small there, I had the video open in one tab and the live game with paused video in another tab. The latter always shows the current position.
I'm so disappointed with Anand's approach. Just as in games 2 and 4, he voluntarily releases the mid-game tension and plays for drawn-out endgames, where Carlsen is easily better than him. One would expect that he will be able to build more plans for complicated middlegames involving lots of maneuvering, but for some reason, he only does that with Black pieces.
