The position looks just as dull as yesterday's.

The computer says 17... Qf8

Seems like a completely pointless move to me.

Carlsen dishing out those moves!

Edit: Not that Anand is playing slow actually

It's actually quite hard to make a mistake in this position.

If Anand accepts the bishop I guess it's pretty much a set drawn.

He has to. Because if 20...Be7??, 21. Bxg7 will win a piece.

Carlsen gets rid of his bad Bishop and has another simple endgame again. My guess is he will press forever for his 3rd win.

It's insanely hard to play the berlin for a win as black unless you know your opponent is going for the mainlines. There are just so many dull sidelines for white that effectively guarantee a drawn position.

I think Anand should have gone for the Sicilian.

The Sicilian... hell even any of the sharper Closed Ruy lines...

It's just really poor opening choice by Anand, and he really needs to start playing for wins.

yeah, the Ruy is an excellent place to look for wins, but not with 3...Nf6

Is Anan even trying anymore? He chose to get a draw here by taking the Queen surely?

what was anand thinking with his opening choice?

It seems that Anand is just trying to avoid a complete debacle.

Maybe Anand didn't expect Carlsen to go 1. e5 and decided right there that he'll play for a draw. lol
