Yopu are right but you also said that GM andersson can make things look easy.

I think that the loser made things look easy.

I analyzed the game and he did some mistakes.

The first mistake was the move 10.Kf3 that is losing a pawn and the last mistake
is 28.fxe4 that is losing another pawn.

Yes but the impression from the claim:"This man can make things look easy" is
that black has a won position.

I looked at the game and it seems to me that even after 10.Kf3 it is a draw.

22.Rb7 is not good and I agree with deep fritz that 22.Kg4 is better
23.Kg3 is also not good and 23.e4 is suggested by Deep Fritz.

I suspect that the IM simply did not see 23.e4 and thought that he must defend
the pawn h4 with the king(a typical mistake of humans who do not do 1 ply
search)
