"The fact that the evaluation drops sharply on Vishy's 2nd best moves gives an indication of how difficult this endgame is." | ||

Sorry assuming Kf8 instead of Kf7 Kf7 would be a blunder I think? gives pawn away with tempo | ||

 he is one of the greatest talents ever to have touched the black and white pieces, so sad he couldn't give Carlsen a run for his money. on the other hand, he did kind of reach everything there was to reach already, maybe it was hard for him to get motivated enough. at the age of 44, after 40 years of playing chess... it really is a miracle that he hasn't burned out yet, he must have an incredible deep emotional connection with the game, something most of us probably won't ever experience with anything.. I want to remember him as the ferocious tiger he was e.g. during Anand-Kramnik. | ||

Houdini's fxg5 line is absurdly complicated with 100 more options thrown in into an eventually drawn endgame. You can pretty much take that with a grain of salt unless you are literally Houdini. | ||
