I expect Anand to go for very sharp main lines and try to draw games as quickly as possible
Sharp lines as drawing weapons? That's... novel.
Look at the sharpest line in theory these days : Bg5 Poisoned pawn Najdorf, Vienna, Marshall gambit, exchange Grünfeld... With computer preparation, they tend to peter out in long forced drawing lines. I think that's one of the reasons Carlsen is avoiding them : it's not because he lacks memory or calculating skills
Ok, that makes (counterintuitive) sense, thank you. Seemed crazily antithetical that sharp lines should lead to draws!

Many lines of the Grunfeld are like that :(
