I dont think Anand lets Carlsen have such a comfortable position with black after only 10 moves tomorrow.
Did that guy just say he thinks Anand will play the Giuoco Piano against the Berlin?
Yes he did!

I didn´t get the name, but he´s a GM ...
I guess they both wanted it.
Nf3 isn't exactly going all out for a win, and Anand played for the repetition, although he had advantage on the board and on the clock.

Wow, that's quite an amazing comment to hear from a GM.

Probably had Kasparovs idea in mind. Kaspy also plays 1.Nf3 and goes for a win. Im seeing an 1.e4 move on the second game.

I know Svidler and he wouldn't make the comment, it was the guy on commentary with Polgar.
@pwned-again - no, Svidler wasn´t commentating
How are they even allowed to draw after only 16 moves? This doesn't seem right at all. The game should have been declared invalid and redone from the beginning.

They are allowed because, unsurprisingly, the players get to choose their moves.
I´m missing those cute hearts and fishes on the board which Magnus and Kramnik went for in their draws in the Candidates´.

Obviously but perhaps the 3 move rule should be disabled for the first couple of moves or something. Then of course you can perhaps repeat a move 20 times to get to it, which would need to be addressed.
All I'm saying is it doesn't seem right they can get out of the game in such a position at the beginning.
