I think you misjudged the position of White's king, as 41...Bc4 is not check.

Ok, maybe the better question would be then, could Carlsen have done it better ?
LOL, kco. Dont drink and watch GM games.
damn, Carlsen played good in the end game, i mean, i woudve lost if my opponent had a rook and i didnt... i just fail when it comes to moving a knight strategically
which end game option would have been better for Carlsen?
Rook vs Bishop?
Rook vs Knight?
i mean, clearly he managed to make it with the knight, but Leko rejects trading bishop for knight in move 40, whilst setting up the bishop for bishop trade in move 42.
Carlsen has so far won 4 games in the first half of the 10 rounds match. In the sixth game Carlsen with leko came out a draw. Here the game. My question is what do you think of the 41st move ? why Nf5 why not Bc4+(mistake here is does not give check) winning the rook ?
