@walidibrahim3 then Carlsen will play Rh1 mate, not Rg8
-
@SeasonalTNT Bishop is pinned!

Admirable. Hope I could do that :)
-
it is a theoretical draw of course till move Rh5 even grand masters can not always play certain drawish endings perfectly especially in time trouble
-
wow !!!!!!!!!!

FWIW According to tablebases it's a draw up until 2:02 Rh5 after that it's something like:
1 ... Ra4 lose in 16
2 Rg3+ win in 16 Kh4 lose in 16
3 Rg2 draw Kh5 lose in 19
4 Rg8 win in 19 Kh6 lose in 9
and Carlsen wins
3 Lots of moves win
3 ... Ra5+ drew
The tablebase seems unclear on the position before Rg3+ before it's played it's a win in 16. After it's played it's a draw by advocating illegal moves!

Even a gm can blunder if he is short of time! even a computer can make serious mistakes in shortage of time!

Kh8, then Rh1+, KG8, Rh8+, Kf8, Rh7 and magnus wins the Rock. He cant loose so it was no mistake to give up. only to loose :)
Svidler has to go Kh7 in the final position after Rh1+ Kg8 then Rh8+ Kf7 and Rh7+ skewers the black king and picks up the rook ...
otherwise if Svidler goes Kh5 in the final position it's Rh1 mate.
And if he does something with the rook, white mates with Ra1...
sad position :)
