Yes of course, I did not mean to deprecate.

I mean that this is the sort of game where the human (Anand) was hyperactive. He
castled long, he saced the exchange, setup passed pawns, this and that, all of
which didn't amount to much except to him barely getting away with a draw. You
can almost see Rebel10 shrugging his shoulders and taking whatever it's offered.

Impossible to understand this game without an understanding of what Anand was
thinking and where he went wrong. Morally he's the clear loser in this game.
