It would be cool if Susan Polgar starts playing professional chess again:)

I wonder if the computer is being optimistic, or I wonder if Magnus will be the first to get a win.

What a great game, it's so complex!

Chessbomb viewer 'kibitzing' is horrible.

'Rf8 seems imprecise' after the move is purple according to Houdini.

Yes.

As they point out in chessbomb, the engines give black a ~0.50 advantage after Anand's 41.Kc3 but the line it shows quickly goes into an easily drawn rook endgame.

Thats if they play the Houdini line. The players for the past few moves are creative...

41.Ke5 would have given something to the spectators!

41. Ke5 is just the sort of move I would have played Frown

A draw soon I think... well, I guess Carlsen took it down to kings last game.

I think all four commentators at the FIDE site are doing a good job of analysing! They're having a lot of fun it seems:)
