Going to be another draw, isn't it?
Still smells like a draw 
Atleast we had white on top.
Move 35. Time seems to be short for both. Most interesting finish
Is it me or is Carlsen in a spot right now?
It will be a draw now but still a good game.
No this is a draw
Damn. I must be blind because I still think Anand might win. Though with the rook exchange, its bbecoming clearer. Thanks,.
Still a draw or is Carlsen now ahead?
Still looks a dead draw. If you can't tell from the position - see the comupter analysis. 0 = equal. + equals white ahead and - equal black ahead.. You need to be (IMO) at least +/- 0.50 for it to be a rel winning chance. Unless your fecking Carlsen and can grind wins out of nothing
Evidently, I'm quite shit at reading this game. But doesn't Carlsen have the advantage of the pawns g and h?I think it's more like +/-1 at least..
If I remember correctly, both Anand and Carlsen were ~1 point ahead in games 3 and 4 respectively and they still blew it.
That's g pawn gone, I think. I get it now.
Incidentally, after Anand's last move, it's now ~ + 1 in favor of Carlsen.
No. Wait. Aaargh! Didn't see white bishop
Rg1?
I think Carlsen will win this.
yeah. That last move seemed to have added 0.2 or so to Carlsen.
Carlsen is winning, and I think even Anand realized that now.
Should carlsen take the bishop or go rg5?
Can anand hold on?
Unlikely.. His only hope is if he can trade the c pawn for the e pawn. And even then, it's a 50/50 chance or even less (depends on the way he trades the c pawn for the e pawn, i.e. where the kings and rooks will be)..
It would be a near miracle if Anand saves this one.
Magnus got this
Engines are saying that it may be over.
It is over. Poor play by anand. Easy draw and he lost it
It is over imo.
Anand only has himself to blame. He had the chance earlier (I think) to mess up white's pawn structure, instead he didn't do it, and allowed Carlsen to do it. Playing an endgame against Carlsen with several weak pawns is just too hard.
Carlsen wins. 3-2 for Carlsen.
bllerg!
Great win for Carlsen!
Anand looks pissed.
I doubt it. Carlsen got him rattled today.
i just hope it will be a close battle.
Yeah would be exciting if Anand wins one of the two next rounds where he is white, but Carlsen is so solid I dont see it happening.
Might be wrong though, Anand will have to attack.

Anand is (IMO) at his best when he attacks. Unfortunately, I think Carlsen is just a better player.
. Maybe losing will do Visgy good andThe only problem I can see for Carlsen is if he tried to settle for draws. Psychologically if you know you only need a draw sometimes makes you end up in passive positions, and hands over the initiative to your opponent, and that could be dangerous..
However, I don't expect that to happen (nor do I expect a mental breakdown ala the one he had towards the end of the candidates tournament this year), and I think he'll get another win soon, because Anand will start taking more risks.

No 100 for Tendulkar. Anand fecks up a drawn position... I hate today.
