I don't understand that narrative at all. If Carlsen was that much better, it wouldn't be 5.5-5.5. Just decide this with a coinflip and save us all from the tedium.

That was really weird. I guess Carlsen couldn't see a way through despite clearly being better.

Then he doesn't need to be playing for the championship :confused:

This has been a complete farce.

I'd kinda like a sworn affidavit affirming that someone will win before I dedicate any more time to this.

I appreciate that it's an unsolvable problem, but as a viewer, if you've lost one pawn and one knight, no, the position is not drawn, you aren't done yet.
