It's likely the 'something like that' aspect of it that Anand is taking so long over....
Yeah, does look like the position should be killing.

Anand is taking forever on this one, his time advantage is going to disappear. I guess he thinks it worth it, looks like a critical moment.

With 22...b3 he's certainly heading down that path!

The engine could be right. But can Carlsen defend like an engine?

Maybe he can!

Oh, I'm mostly only interested in the engine from the perspective of how they've lined one up that's producing such nonsense

They seem to be running it for a very short time then leaving the line of anaylsis generated in view, multiple ply deep. Its a bit annoying really. Would be much better without it. (Or if they must do it, then do it properly with multiple lines, updating etc.).

I suspect even a engine would normally be at least a bit worried by now.

Yes, I wondered when I heard Lawrence say on commentary yesterday that Carlsen had a great poker face. Although to be fair he frequently looks what would be terrible in other players. But I agree this is his ‘trouble’, or at least ‘danger’, mode.

Sometimes even people this strong don't It does look horrifyingly dangerous now and you can't imagine that can possibly have been the idea when he set off.

The online engine is still giving lines suggesting that it is very confused indeed.
